Which class of fungi lacks sex organs but the process of plasmogamy is brought about by fusion of two vegetative or somatic cells of different strains or genotypes?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
The description provided matches the class Basidiomycetes. In this class, sex organs are completely absent, and sexual reproduction occurs through somatogamy. Plasmogamy is achieved by the fusion of two vegetative or somatic cells of different mating types (strains or genotypes) to form a dikaryotic mycelium. Bracket fungi are a well-known example belonging to the class Basidiomycetes.
