Which of the Following Characteristics is Shared by Both Chytrids

Question

Which of the following characteristics is shared by both chytrids and other kinds of fungi?
A)presence of flagella
B)zoospores
C)autotrophic mode of nutrition
D)cell walls of cellulose
E)nucleotide sequences of several genes

Accepted Answer

Chytrids and other kinds of fungi share similarities in the nucleotide sequences of several genes, indicating a common evolutionary history. This genetic similarity is a fundamental characteristic that links chytrids with other fungal groups, despite differences in morphology or life cycle. Other options like flagella, zoospores, autotrophic nutrition, and cellulose cell walls do not apply universally to chytrids and all other fungi.
