In which of the following example of fungi dikaryotic hyphae exist for long period?
Correct answer: B. Basidiomycota
- A. Deuteromycota
- B. Basidiomycota
- C. Zygomycota
- D. All of these
Explanation
Basidiomycota commonly maintain dikaryotic hyphae, in which each cell contains two genetically different haploid nuclei, for a prolonged part of the life cycle. Deuteromycota is often selected because it includes many familiar molds, but its fungi do not characteristically maintain a long dikaryotic phase.
