NEET2018Paper 2018Biology
Q.

After karyogamy followed by meiosis, spores are produced exogenously in

  1. A

    Neurospora

  2. B

    Agaricus

  3. C

    Alternaria

  4. D

    Saccharomyces

Solution

 In Agaricus (a genus of basidiomycetes), basidiospores or meiospores are produced exogenously.

 Neurospora (a genus of ascomycetes) produces ascospores as meiospores but endogenously inside the ascus.)

 Alternaria (a genus of deuteromycetes) does not produce sexual spores.

 Saccharomyces (Unicellular ascomycetes) produces ascospores, endogenously.
