Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Fungi imperfecti is that group of fungi where only the imperfect stage (asexual stages) is present.

The only known method of reproduction is by conidia (asexual reproduction).

As sexual reproduction is absent in this group therefore diplophase is also absent.

Hence no alternation of generation (i.e., alternation of haploid and diploid phase) is shown here.
