Question

Conidia are –

○ exogenously formed sexual spores in fungi

○ exogenously formed asexual spores in algae

○ produced by fungal hyphae in basipetal chains

○ produced exogenously in acropetal chains​

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (c) produced by fungal hyphae in basipetal chains

Explanation:

Conidium, a type of asexual reproductive spore of fungi (kingdom Fungi) usually produced at the tip or side of hyphae (filaments that make up the body of a typical fungus) or on special spore-producing structures called conidiophores.

Conidia can be formed at the base of a chain which is called the basipetal mode of spore formation. The acervulus is a flat layer of fungal hyphae that forms conidia and often is immersed in the tissue of the plant host.
