Accepted Answer

Hi everyone. Let's look at our next question. It says most of the members of phylum blank are involved in the formation of lycans. Well, let's recall from our content video, what lichen is that appear? And lichens are associations of algae or cyanobacteria living in the filaments of fungi in a mutual ist IQ relationship. Um They look sort of plant like they can perform photosynthesis, but they're not plants that this association of the algae or cyanobacteria with fungi. So what kind of fungi form these associations? Well, and we want to note here that says most of the members. So there's actually two fila of fungi that form associations and that is the task of my kota and the city of kota zero. My coat don't form these associations at all. We can eliminate that. But again, we want to go back to this word. Most and most of the members of phylum asked Michael to form these associations. There are some members of the city. Of my code that forms associations but not most of them. So Choice D. Is not our answer. And choice. C do terra my coda. That's a film that used to be used to classify fungi with no known reproductive method. But now most that members of that fila are classified as either ask ricotta or ricotta. So that would not be a correct answer. So again, most of the members of phylum choice be asking my coda are involved in the formation of lichens. See you in the next video
