Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
D

Conidia are Asexual Spores: In Ascomycetes (sac fungi), conidia are asexual spores produced through mitosis, not reduction division (meiosis).Exogenous Production: Conidia are produced exogenously (externally) on special hyphae called conidiophores.Location of Meiosis: Reduction division (meiosis) actually occurs inside the asci (sac-like structures) to produce ascospores (sexual spores), not conidia.
