The only special kind of genetic recombination found in deuteromycetes is known as:

Correct answer: B. Parasexuality

  • A. Conjugation
  • B. Parasexuality
  • C. Budding
  • D. Transduction

Explanation

Parasexuality is the correct answer because it describes a process in deuteromycetes where genetic recombination occurs without the typical sexual reproduction cycle. This process allows for genetic variation by exchange of genetic material through a series of mitotic events, rather than meiosis and fertilization. Conjugation is incorrect as it is a form of genetic exchange found in bacteria and some fungi but not specific to deuteromycetes. Budding is incorrect because it is a form of asexual reproduction that does not involve genetic recombination, and transduction is incorrect as it is related to gene transfer in bacteria, not fungi.
