Q. Asexual reproduction takes place by zoospores or by aplanospores in:

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Biological Classification

Solution:

Members of phycomycetes are found in aquatic habitats and on decaying wood in the moist and damp places or as obligate parasites on plants. The mycelium is aseptate and coenocytic. Asexual reproduction takes place by zoospores (motile) or by aplanospores (non-motile). These spores are endogenously produced in sporangium. A zygospore is formed by fusion of two gametes. These gametes are similar in morphology (isogamous) or dissimilar (anisogamous or oogamous). Some common
examples are Mucor, Rhizopus, (the bread mould mentioned earlier) and Albugo (the parasitic fungi
on mustard).
