Question

A biologist came across a fungus on a beach. Upon further study he found out that the fungus could feed on dead matter. It can also feed on living matter but it harms the organisms in the process. In which two groups of fungi could the biologist place the fungus

Answer 1

Solution:

A fungus (plural: fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryoticorganisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, Fungi, which is separate from the other eukaryotic life kingdoms of plants and animals.

There are four major groups of fungi that the biologist place it: Zygomycota, Ascomycota (sac fungi), Basidiomycota (club fungi), and Deuteromycota (fungi imperfecti).

Thus this is the required answer.
