Question

The fungal division containing arbuscular mycorrhizae is the
A) Betaproteobacteria.
B) Basidiomycota.
C) Glomerulomycota.
D) Rhizobia.

Accepted Answer

The fungal division containing arbuscular mycorrhizae is Glomerulomycota. Arbuscular mycorrhizae are mutualistic associations between fungi and plant roots, which help in the absorption of nutrients from the soil. Glomerulomycota is the only known division of fungi that forms these associations. Betaproteobacteria and Rhizobia are bacterial groups, not fungal divisions. Basidiomycota is a diverse fungal division, but it does not form arbuscular mycorrhizae.
