Question #2
Which class of fungi includes the common bread mold, Rhizopus stolonifer?
A. Ascomycetes
B. Basidiomycetes
C. Phycomycetes
D. Deuteromycetes

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Rhizopus stolonifer belongs to the class Phycomycetes (or Zygomycetes). These fungi are characterized by a coenocytic (multinucleate, aseptate) mycelium and reproduce asexually by forming motile or non-motile spores in sporangia. Ascomycetes (sac fungi) have septate hyphae and produce ascospores in asci. Basidiomycetes (club fungi) produce basidiospores on basidia. Deuteromycetes are imperfect fungi lacking a known sexual stage.
