NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The sexual spores, called basidiospores, are produced and forcibly ejected from a club shaped cell called a basidium . The developing basidium is the site of karyogamy and meiosis. The basidia are found inside or on the surface of the fruiting body (basidiocarp).

Detailed explanation-2: -The fungi in the Phylum Basidiomycota are easily recognizable under a light microscope by their club-shaped fruiting bodies called basidia (singular, basidium), which are the swollen terminal cell of a hypha.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ascomycetes / Sac Fungi Characteristics The fruiting body is known as ascocarp.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ascomycota are septate fungi with the filaments partitioned by cellular cross-walls called septa. Ascomycetes produce sexual spores, called axcospores, formed in sac-like structures called asci, and also small asexual spores called conidia.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Ascomycota bear their sexual spores (ascospores) internally in sacs called asci, which are usually cylindrical. Many members also form conidia as asexual spores.
