Chapter 11: Q. 15 (page 295)

What is the ploidy of the most conspicuous form of most fungi?

a. diploid

b. haploid

c. alternation of generations

d. asexual

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct answer is option b

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Introduction 

Ploidy refers to the number of sets of chromosomes present in an organism.

02

Step 2. Explanation of the correct options

Option b is correct because fungi have both diploid as well as haploid stages and show alternation of generation. In fungi, the most conspicuous form is a haploid stage as it is noticed mostly except its zygote form when it is diploid.

03

Step 3. Explanation of the incorrect option

Option a is incorrect because all stages of fungi are haploid except zygote.

Option c is incorrect because fungi show alternation of generation but the most conspicuous form is haploid.

Option d is incorrect because the most conspicuous form in fungi is haploid.
