Which of the following pairs is not correctly matched?

Electrophoresis and HPLC
Electrophoresis and HPLC
Which is the most common mechanism of genetic variation in the population of sexually reproducing organism?
Transduction
Chromosomal aberrations

Genetic drift
Which one of the following matches is correct?
Phytophthora | Aseptate mycelium | Basidiomycetes |
Alternaria | Sexual reproduction | Deuteromycetes |
Mucor | Reproduction by conjugation | Asocmycetes |
Mucor | Reproduction by conjugation | Asocmycetes |
B.
Alternaria | Sexual reproduction | Deuteromycetes |
(i) Phytophthora belongs to Phycomycetes (algal fungi). They contain either unicellular thallus or non-separate coenocytic mycelium. They are mostly plant damaging Oomycetes (water molds).
(ii) Alternaria is Deuteromycetes (fungi imperfecti), which lacks sexual reproduction.
(iii) Mucor also belong to Phycomycetes. They have mycelium which is coenocytic (multinucleate) and profusely branched. They reproduce vegetatively via conjugation.
(iv) Agaricus belongs to Basidiomycetes (where karyogamy and meiosis occur). They contain well-developed filaments, branched and septate mycelium. They are saprophytic but parasitic.
So, hence (b) option is correctly matched.
