Question

Column-I consists of names of fungi classes while Column-II consists of names of genera. Find out the correct option.

• A. I–r, II–s, III–q, IV–p
• B. I–p, II–q, III–r, IV–s
• C. I–q, II–r, III–s, IV–p
• D. I–s, II–r, III–p, IV–q

Hint:

Deuteromycetes are also called imperfect fungi due to absence of sexual reproduction.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Identifying characteristic genera of each fungal class.
Phycomycetes include simple fungi like {Mucor} and {Rhizopus}.
Ascomycetes include sac fungi such as {Aspergillus} and {Penicillium}.
Basidiomycetes include club fungi such as {Agaricus} and {Puccinia}.
Deuteromycetes include imperfect fungi like {Alternaria} and {Trichophyton}.
Step 2: Matching Column-I with Column-II.
I – r, II – s, III – q, IV – p
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct matching is option (A).
