Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rhizoids are individual filaments that anchor chytrids to their substrate. Dikaryons are cells with two nuclei (one from each parent) and are not specific to chytrids. Hyphae and mycelia are structures present in many types of fungi, not just chytrids. Conidia are asexual spores produced by certain types of fungi but are not related to the anchoring of chytrids.
