Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
Fungi are eukaryotic, mostly multicellular and filamentous, with a body of hyphae forming a mycelium. Their cell wall contains chitin. Their nutrition is heterotrophic and absorptive: they may be saprophytic, parasitic or symbiotic. They reproduce by spores, both asexually and sexually.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
Lichens and mycorrhizae are the two best-known symbiotic associations of fungi.
