A) flagellated spores
B) ascospores
C) basidiospores
D) zygospores
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Myxomycota (Gr. myxa = Slime + mykes Fungus) constitutes first division of the kingdom fungi. These are distinguished from other fungi by the presence of a vegetative phase in their life cycle, which is devoid of cell wall and is either a free-living, multinucleate, amoeboid mass of protoplasm (plasmodium) or an aggregation of amoebae in the form of slimy mass (during the vegetative phase), these are also called slime moulds. The spores are biflagellate in slime moulds. Ascospores usually but not always single- celled produced in a sac called an ascus, there are four or eight ascospores in an ascus but their number may vary from species to species. Basidiospores borne on special structures called basidia (singular, basidium). Zygospores are thick walled spores produced by the fusion of entire gametangia.
