Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which statement is FALSE about sexual reproduction of fungi?
A
Basidiomycota forms basidiospores inside the basidium
B
Ascomycota forms ascospore in ascus
C
Zygomycota forms zygospores in zygosporangium
D
Basidiomycota forms basidiospores outside the basidium
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: –These two different strains of mycelium fuse together to form a structure called a dikaryotic mycelium while this process is known as plasmogamy.-This again forms a complete organism and then again goes under meiosis. This completes the life cycle of the basidiomycetes. So, the correct answer is ‘All of these’.

Detailed explanation-2: -In Class Basidiomycota organisms reproduce sexually using a club-shaped structure, called a basidium, that produces basidiospores. They can also reproduce asexually by producing hardened spores (conidia) from specialized cell structures (conidiophores), extending from hyphae.

Detailed explanation-3: -So the correct option is ‘Deuteromycetes’.
