Question
Biology Question on Kingdom Fungi
Which one of the following is not a criterion for classification of fungi?
A
Morphology of mycelium
B
Mode of nutrition
C
Mode of spore formation
D
Fruiting body
Answer
Mode of nutrition
Explanation
Solution
Fungi classification is primarily based on the mode of spore formation, fruiting body structure, and the morphology of the mycelium. The mode of nutrition is not typically used as a primary criterion for classification because fungi are generally classified based on their reproductive structures. Most fungi are heterotrophic(absorptive nutrition), but the classification depends more on the structural aspects of reproduction and growth.
