Question

On what basis fungi are classified classify them giving suitable example of is group

Answer 1

Answer:

Fungi are usually classified in four divisions: the Chytridiomycota (chytrids), Zygomycota (bread molds), Ascomycota (yeasts and sac fungi), and the Basidiomycota (club fungi). Placement into a division is based on the way in which the fungus reproduces sexually.

Answer 2

Fungi are classified on the basis of

1. On the basis of nutrition:

2. On the basis of spore formation:

• According to nutrition basis

• The fungi are saprophytic, meaning they feed on decomposing organic matter to stay alive. Rhizopus, Penicillium, and Aspergillus are other examples. The term "parasitic" refers to fungi that feed on and absorb nutrients from other living things, such as plants or animals. Taphrina and Puccinia are two examples.

• Symbiotic fungi are those that depend on other species in a mutually beneficial interaction to survive. Lichens and mycorrhiza are two examples. The symbiotic relationship between algae and fungi results in lichens. Here, algae and fungi both gain since fungi protect algae, and, in return, algae produce carbohydrates for fungi.
• The symbiotic relationship that exists between fungi and plants is called mycorrhiza. Fungi help plants better absorb nutrients, while plants give fungi organic compounds like sugar.

• According to spore formation

• Zygomycetes - These are created when two distinct cells combine. While the asexual spores are known as sporangiospores, the sexual spores are called zygospores. The septa are absent from the hyphae. Mucor is an example.

• Ascomycetes — Also known as sac fungus. They may be saprophytic, parasitic, decomposers, coprophilous, or any of these. Ascospores are the name for sexual spores. Conidiospores are used in asexual reproduction. Saccharomyces is an example.

• Mushrooms are the most prevalent type of basidiomycetes, and they mostly exist as parasites. In basidiospores, sexual reproduction takes place. By means of conidia, budding, or fragmentation, asexual reproduction takes place. Consider Agaricus.

• Deuteromycetes: These fungi are also known as defective fungi since they do not reproduce according to the same cycle as other fungi. They do not sexually reproduce. Conidia are the method of asexual reproduction. Trichoderma is one example.
