The most common characteristic of the fungal hyphae is the possession of
A.
cell-like compartment with one nucleus each
B.
cell walls that are both rigid and chitinous
C.
a multicellular mycelium in the substrate
D.
cell-like partitions formed by cross-walls
Correct answer is D
Fungal Hyphae Cells 1- Hyphal wall 2- Septum 3- Mitochondrion 4- Vacuole 5- Ergosterol crystal 6- Ribosome 7- Nucleus 8- Endoplasmic reticulum 9- Lipid body 10- Plasma membrane 11- Spitzenkorper 12- Golgi apparatus
- A hypha has cross-walls which divide it into cell-like compartments that contain several nuclei
NB: A rigid cell wall is not present in slime moulds.
