What is the nature of the plasmodium in slime molds?
Correct answer: D. Multinucleated
- A. Uninucleated
- B. Enucleate
- C. Mononucleated
- D. Multinucleated
Explanation
The plasmodium of slime molds is an amoeboid mass of cytoplasm that is multinucleated, meaning it contains many nuclei within a single cell mass. This structure allows the slime mold to move and ingest food particles efficiently. The other options are incorrect: 'Uninucleated' and 'Mononucleated' imply only one nucleus, which is not the case with slime mold plasmodium. 'Enucleate' means lacking a nucleus, which is also incorrect as slime molds are defined by their multiple nuclei.
