    Question

    On the basis of phylogenetic relationship, the sister group relationship exists between:

    A.

    Zygomycota – Ascomycota

    B.

    Ascomycota – Basidiomycota

    C.

    Oomycota – Ascomycota

    D.

    Chytridiomycota – Basidiomycota

    Correct option is B


    In fungal taxonomy, phylogenetic relationships are determined based on molecular data, especially ribosomal RNA gene sequences and other conserved protein-coding genes. These analyses have clarified the evolutionary history of major fungal groups.
    �� Why (b) Ascomycota – Basidiomycota is the Correct Answer:
    · Ascomycota and Basidiomycota are the two largest phyla of the Kingdom Fungi.
    · Together, they form a monophyletic clade called the Dikarya, characterized by the presence of a dikaryotic stage (n+n) in their life cycles.
    · Phylogenetic analyses strongly support a sister group relationship between Ascomycota and Basidiomycota, meaning they:
    · Share a recent common ancestor.
    · Are each other’s closest relatives among fungi.
