If a fungus having septate and branched mycelium does not show sexual reproduction in its life cycle, and recent research discovers that it does show sexual reproduction with spores produced endogenously, then in which class can this fungus not be classified?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
It cannot be in Deuteromycetes because a sexual stage was found. It cannot be in Basidiomycetes because its sexual spores are exogenous, not endogenous. It cannot be in Phycomycetes because they have aseptate coenocytic mycelium. It can be classified in Ascomycetes , as this class has endogenously produced sexual spores and have septate and branched mycelium.
