Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Fungi can ONLY reproduce asexually
A
True
B
Fales
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fungi can reproduce asexually by fragmentation, budding, or producing spores, or sexually with homothallic or heterothallic mycelia.

Detailed explanation-2: -Conidia and sporangiospores are the two primary asexual spore types produced by fungi. They can be separated from one another by the mechanisms that lead to their formation and by the morphology of the sporophore that creates them. Asexual spores include arthrospores, conidia, chlamydospores, and sporangiospores.

Detailed explanation-3: -The majority of fungi can reproduce both asexually and sexually. This allows them to adjust to conditions in the environment. They can spread quickly through asexual reproduction when conditions are stable.

Detailed explanation-4: -The deuteromycetes, commonly called molds, are “second-class” fungi that have no known sexual state in their life cycle, and thus reproduce only by producing spores via mitosis, This asexual state is also called the anamorph state.
