MIC 121 Characteristics and Structure of Fungi Objective Question

Question

Which asexual reproductive structures are produced within a sac-like structure called a sporangium, typically found in Zygomycota (e.g., Rhizopus, Mucor)?
Options
A Conidiospores
B Zoospores
C Chlamydospores
D Sporangiospores
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Sporangiospores are produced within sporangia, which develop on sporangiophores. This is characteristic of Zygomycota. Conidiospores are not enclosed in a sac, zoospores are motile sporangiospores, and chlamydospores are thick-walled resting spores.

Hint

The name of the spore often reflects the structure it is produced in.
