NEET 2024, Biology Q12: Kingdom Fungi

NEET2024Biology
Q.

Which one of the following is not a criterion for classification of fungi?

  1. A

    Mode of spore formation

  2. B

    Fruiting body

  3. C

    Morphology of mycelium

  4. D

    Mode of nutrition

Solution

The kingdom Fungi is classified into Phycomycetes, Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes and Deuteromycetes on the basis of morphology of the mycelium, mode of spore formation and nature of the fruiting body. Mode of nutrition is not used as a classification criterion because almost all fungi are heterotrophs (saprophytic, parasitic or symbiotic).
