Which one of the following matches is correct?

  1. Mucor – Reproduction by conjugation – Ascomycetes
  2. Agaricus – Parasitic fungus – Basidiomycetes
  3. Phytophthora – Aseptate mycelium – Basidiomycetes
  4. Alternaria – Sexual reproduction absent – Deuteromycetes

Answer

(4) Alternaria – Sexual reproduction absent – Deuteromycetes

Solution

As per NCERT, the members of Deuteromycetes are called imperfect fungi because only their asexual or vegetative phases are known (sexual reproduction absent), e.g. Alternaria, Colletotrichum and Trichoderma.

⇒ (1) Mucor reproduces sexually by conjugation but belongs to Phycomycetes, not Ascomycetes.

⇒ (2) Agaricus (mushroom) is a Basidiomycete but a saprophyte, not a parasite.

⇒ (3) Phytophthora has aseptate mycelium but is placed in Phycomycetes, not Basidiomycetes.

∴ Only Alternaria – sexual reproduction absent – Deuteromycetes is correctly matched.

Answer: (4)
