Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Are Fungi Multicellular or Unicellular
A
fungi do not exist
B
Most fungi are multicellular
C
Most fungi are unicellular
D
all fungi are unicellular
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fungi can be single celled or very complex multicellular organisms. They are found in just about any habitat but most live on the land, mainly in soil or on plant material rather than in sea or fresh water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Although dimorphic fungi can change from the unicellular to multicellular state (depending on environmental conditions), most fungi are actually multicellular organisms. They display two distinct morphological stages: the vegetative and reproductive.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fungi have been interpreted as a lineage of clonally multicellular organisms (Brunet and King, 2017) (because of the continuous multiplication of nuclei within a thallus) that grow as apically extending hyphae.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mold is a multicellular fungus. It consists of filaments called hyphae that can bunch together into structures called mycelia. Several mycelia grouped together are a mycelium and these structures form the thallus or body of the mold. An example of a multicellular fungus is Rhizopus stolonifera.

Detailed explanation-5: -The only unicellular fungi is Yeast.
