Hyphae with many nuclei is known as:
Correct answer: C. Coenocytic
- A. Monokaryotic
- B. Dikaryotic
- C. Coenocytic
- D. Akaryotic
Explanation
Coenocytic hyphae are a type of fungal hyphae that lack septa, resulting in a continuous cytoplasmic mass containing multiple nuclei. This structure allows for efficient nutrient distribution and growth. The term 'coenocytic' specifically describes this multinucleated condition. In contrast, 'monokaryotic' and 'dikaryotic' refer to single and double nuclei per cell, respectively, and 'akaryotic' refers to the absence of nuclei, making these terms unsuitable for describing hyphae with many nuclei.
