Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Do fungi cells have a nucleus?
A
YES! They are eukaryotic (have a nucleus)
B
NO! They are prokaryotic (no nucleus)
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fungi are eukaryotes and have a complex cellular organization. As eukaryotes, fungal cells contain a membrane-bound nucleus where the DNA is wrapped around histone proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fungi spend much of their lives with only a single nucleus. Except, that is, when two filaments cross paths. When two lonely filaments find each other, the cells at the tip of the filaments fuse, and form new structures that have two nuclei per cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. There is a wide range of eukaryotic organisms, including all animals, plants, fungi, and protists, as well as most algae.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cell structure and function Fungi are eukaryotes, and as such, have a complex cellular organization. Being eukaryotes, a typical fungal cell contains a true nucleus, mitochondria, and a complex system of internal membranes, including the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus.

Detailed explanation-5: -The fungi (Mycota) are eukaryotic organisms that have a mycelial structure formed from slender filaments or hyphae (2–10m in diameter) that may be unbranched or branched, septate or nonseptate and which are commonly multinucleate.
