Which structure, if cut off, will hamper sexual reproduction in fungi? a. hyphae b. fruiting body c. rhizoids d. mycorrhizae

B. fruiting body

Explanation:

Fruiting body is the term used for the part of fungi that produce spores that take part in the sexual reproduction of fungi.

As you can see in picture, it is very prominent part of fungal body that where spores are formed as a result of sexual reproduction or fusion of gametes. These spores disperse from one place to another and upon landing on a suitable substrate, they give rise to the whole fungus body.

Mushroom is the most common example of fungus with a prominent fruiting body. Now the question is how the fruiting body is formed, they are produced from small thread like structures called hyphae that make most of the fungus body and are collectively termed as mycelium. They grow above the soil layer and develop new structures called gills,cap  and stalk. In gills of the fruiting body, spored are formed.

Therefore, f one hyphae is cut off it will not hamper the sexual reproduction because fungus contains million of hyphae called mycelum that form fruiting body where sexual reproduction occurs. However, if fruiting body is cut, it wiil hamper the formation of spores and sexual reproduction.
