The female gametangium of Ascomycota is called
(A) Ascocarp
(B) Ascogonium
(C) Cleistothecium
(D) Perithecium

Hint: As comycota belongs to the kingdom fungi. It is the largest phylum of fungi. Ascomycetes along with basis diomycota forms the subkingdom Dikarya. Ascoycetina is called soc fungi.

Complete Answer:
- The female gametangium of Ascomycotina is called Ascogonium the dominant form of propagation in Ascomycota is asexual reproduction takes place by the means of vegetative reproductive spores called conidia. The different modes of a sexual reproduction can be recognized by their variable color.
- Condiogenets are the important characteristic feature of Ascomycota. It includes the sparse formation and its dehiscence from the parent.
- Sexual reproduction in Ascomycota takes place by the formation of Ascue. Ascue is the fungal group which is a tube- shaped vessel called microsporangium. Microsporangium produces Osco spares. These ascospores are haploid structures developed by meiosis.
- A sexual reproduction leads to the production of conidispores. That are haploid structures released from conidiophores. For sexual reproduction. Two types of strains are developed is male gamete and female gamete. Male gamete is called antheridium and female gamete is called ascogonium. During sexual reproduction thousands asci fill the fruiting body which is known as ascocarp.

Therefore, from the above explanation the correct option is (B) Ascogonium.

Note: The cell wall of ascomycetes is made up of chitin and beta glucose. Ascomycetes are also called sac-fungi because of their ability to form like parts called asci that take part in sexual reproduction. Asci are developed from ascospores.
