Question :

The sexual reproductive organs of aspergillus are:

Option 1:

Spermatium and oogonium

Option 2:

Antheridium and oogonium

Option 3: Spermatium and ascogonium

Option 4: Antheridium and ascogonium

Correct Answer: Antheridium and ascogonium

Solution : The correct option is A ntheridium and ascogonium .

Aspergillus is a genus of filamentous fungus with branching hyphae and conidiophores that generate asexual spores known as conidia.

sexual reproduction in the Aspergillus genus may involve specialised structures such as ascogonia and antheridia. In fungi, an antheridium is a male reproductive structure. It generates and releases male gametes known as spermatia, which are important in the fertilisation process. In fungi, an ascogonium is a female reproductive structure. It is the location of the female gamete or egg cell production.
