Why are the imperfect fungi imperfect?

Imperfect fungi are considered imperfect because they do not exhibit in any of its life cycle both means of reproduction - sexual and asexual reproduction. Their most common means of reproduction is by asexual reproduction.AnswerThey were called imperfect because no one understood their life styles "perfectly". Also there is current debate over how to classify these fungi. The imperfect fungi were once grouped in the phylum Deuteromycota, however this phylum has been removed and there is currently no place for these asexual fungi in the current fungal classification system. It is because there has never been a sexual reproductive stage observed from them. B.


The deuteromycota are commonly called the imperfect fungi because?

they are fungi that do not have a known sexual reproductive stage or exhibit it rarely. This lack of a known sexual phase distinguishes them from other fungi that have well-defined sexual reproductive cycles.

What are the 4 divisions fungi are classified in?

1. Zygomycetes: common in bread mould reproduses asexually unless conditions are poor the sexual reproduction occurs between mating strains 2. Ascomycetes: yeasts are unicellular cause mildew on plant leaves produse sexual spores called ascospores, and are mostly red brown blue green moulds that cause food spoilage 3. Basidiomycetes: known as club fungi, including mushroom some of which are edible other are poisenous or halloucinogens. Pproduce sexual spores called basidiospores 4. Deuteromycetes: known as fungi imperfecti either lost capacity for sexual production or has never been observed eg pencillium antibiotics, cheese aromas.


What are the four major phyla of fungi?

The Ascomycota type, which are truffles and yeasts procreate sexually. Imperfect Fungi have not been seen to do this and it is thought they have lost the ability. Basidiomycota are mushrooms and toadstools. They produce sexually via spores. Finally, zygomycota, which is bread mold, and develop by sexually and asexually.
