Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
[d] Fungi reproduce by vegetative, asexual and sexual means.
About 20% fungi propagate only by asexual means.
Asexual reproduction takes place during favourable conditions by the formation of a variety of conidia or spores.
The spores may be unicellular (e.g., Aspergillus) or multicellular (e.g., Alternaria).
Bacteria also reproduce mainly by asexual method and therefore they have a dominant haploid phase in their life-cycle.
Asexual reproduction in bacteria takes place by binary fission, budding, conidia, cysts and endospores.
