Which one of the following phases of the life cycle of Rhizopus is delayed?
Correct answer: D. Meiosis
- A. Dikaryotic
- B. Heterokaryotic
- C. Diploid
- D. Meiosis
Explanation
Answer is "Meiosis"Explanation: Zygospore is a resistant dormant body which waits for arrival of favorable conditions and meiosis is delayed. This is because Rhizopus is a heterothallic fungus, which means that it requires two different mating types in order to reproduce sexually. The meiosis phase only occurs when two compatible mating types come together.
