Detailed explanation-1: -All species of animals, land plants and most fungi are multicellular, as are many algae, whereas a few organisms are partially uni-and partially multicellular, like slime molds and social amoebae such as the genus Dictyostelium.
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: -Except for yeast, most fungi are multicellular creatures. A fungus’ vegetative body can be unicellular or multicellular. Depending on the environment, dimorphic fungi can transition from a unicellular to a multicellular state. Yeasts are the common name for unicellular fungus.
Detailed explanation-4: -The given statement is TRUE. Fungi exist in both multicellular and unicellular forms; however, the unicellular species of fungi are comparatively very less than the unicellular species of fungi. Some fungal species such as yeast switch from being unicellular to multicellular species but remain as unicellular organisms.
Detailed explanation-5: -All fungi are multicellular, except yeast which is a unicellular fungus.
