NEET 2022, Biology Q75: Kingdom Fungi

NEET2022Biology
Q.

Identify the asexual reproductive structure associated with Penicillium :

  1. A

    Zoospores

  2. B

    Conidia

  3. C

    Gemmules

  4. D

    Buds

Solution

Penicillium reproduces asexually by producing conidia, which are non-motile spores borne on specialised aerial hyphae called conidiophores.

Zoospores are flagellated spores produced by algae and lower fungi; gemmules are reproductive structures of sponges; budding is the mode of asexual reproduction in Hydra and yeast.
