A) affinities to both animals and fungi B) amoeboid feeding stage called the plasmodium C) feeding by engulfing bacteria and organic matter D) producing unicellular spores that may remain dormant E) All of the above are characteristics of the Myxomycota.

Step 1
Step 1: Identify the key features of Myxomycota (plasmodial slime molds): they have an amoeboid feeding stage called the plasmodium; they feed by phagocytosis (engulfing bacteria and organic matter); they are often discussed as having affinities to both animals Show more…

Which of the following statements regarding the class Phycomycetes is correct? (a) These are found in aquatic habitats and on decaying wood in moist and damp places or as obligate parasites on plants. (b) Mycelium in these fungi is aseptate and coenocytic. (c) Asexual reproduction occurs by motile zoospores and by non-motile aplanospores. (d) All of these.
The fungus body may be: composed of branched filamentous growth called mycelium a yeast, i.e. it is unicellular and reproduces asexually by budding or fission composed of both yeast and mycelium and is said to be dimorphic a large, multinucleated cell called a plasmodium a, b and c are all correct In the Fungi, the mode of nutrition is: ingestion absorption photosynthesis phagocytosis none of the above are correct
