| 1. | Large number of members of deuteromycetes are decomposers of litter and help in mineral cycling |
| 2. | Sex organs are absent in basidiomycetes but plasmogamy is brought about by fusion of the nuclei of the gametes |
| 3. | The asexual spores produced by ascomycetes are conidia, produced exogenously on the special mycelium called conidiophores |
| 4. | In ascomycetes and basidiomycetes, an intervening dikaryon stage exists before the fusion of parental nuclei |
| Assertion (A): | Vegetative reproduction by fragmentation is common in basidiomycetes |
| Reason (R): | In club fungi, sexual spores are not formed during sexual reproduction |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
