Question

Fungal diversity is currently classified into:

• A. Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, Glomeromycota, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota
• B. Chytridiomycota, Zymnomycota, Glomeromycota, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota
• C. Chloromycota, Zygomycota, Glomeromycota, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota
• D. Chloromycota, Zoomycota, Glomeromycota, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota

Hint:

To remember fungal phyla, focus on their reproductive structures and ecological roles. For example, Basidiomycota (club fungi) include mushrooms, while Ascomycota (sac fungi) include yeasts.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Modern fungal taxonomy includes five major phyla based on their reproductive structures and molecular data.
These phyla are:

• Chytridiomycota: Primitive fungi with flagellated spores.
• Zygomycota: Fungi forming zygospores during reproduction.
• Glomeromycota: Fungi involved in mycorrhizal associations with plants.
• Ascomycota: Sac fungi producing spores in asci.
• Basidiomycota: Club fungi producing spores on basidia.
