Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Fungi are classified into various groups on the basis of their sexually reproductive structures. There are some fungi that are edible; they help in formation of bread, tofu (a drink) and are also taken in raw form as well. Fungi are also used to cure diseases but some of them can cause disease too.

Group of answer choices zygomycota basidiomycota glomeromycota ascomycotaarrow_forwardHow can ascomycetes be distinguished from basidiomycetes?a. Ascomycete hyphae have simple pores in their septa and lack clampconnections, whereas basidiomycete hyphae display complex septalpores and clamp connections.b. Ascomycetes produce sexual spores in sacs, whereasbasidiomycetes produce sexual spores on the surfaces of clubshaped structures.c. Ascomycetes are commonly found in lichens, whereasbasidiomycetes are less commonly partners in lichen associations.d.
