Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Option A) Irregularly: This is not correct. The conidia of Albugo are not arranged irregularly. They have a specific pattern of arrangement.
Option B) Acropetally: This is not correct. Acropetal arrangement means that the youngest structures are at the top and the oldest are at the bottom. This is not the case with the conidia of Albugo.
Option C) Basipetally: This is the correct answer. In a basipetal arrangement, the youngest structures are at the bottom and the oldest are at the top. This is how the conidia of Albugo are arranged. They are produced successively and pushed upwards, so the oldest conidia are at the top.
Option D) Intercalary: This is not correct. Intercalary means that the structures are arranged between older structures, which is not the case with the conidia of Albugo.
Therefore, the correct answer is C) Basipetally, as this is how the conidia of Albugo are arranged.
