Practice question
Question
Only the asexual and vegetative phases of a fungus are known, and it reproduces by conidia. What should happen if its sexual stage is later discovered?
Explanation
Deuteromycetes include fungi for which only the asexual or vegetative stages are known. When the sexual stage is discovered and its relationship is established, the fungus is moved to the appropriate fungal class, often Ascomycetes or Basidiomycetes.
