The percentage of symbolic association by Ascomycota is more than:
Correct answer: B. 40%
- A. 50%
- B. 40%
- C. 20%
- D. 30%
Explanation
Ascomycota, also known as sac fungi, are known for their ability to form symbiotic associations, particularly in the form of lichens. These fungi make up a significant portion of lichenized fungi, with studies indicating that over 40% of Ascomycota species engage in such symbiotic relationships. This makes option B the correct answer. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they either overestimate or underestimate the percentage of symbolic association by Ascomycota.
