Black bread molds are examples of the fungal group Zygomycetes. The white mushrooms seen in supermarkets are fruiting bodies known as basidiocarps.

	a.	The 1st statement is correct and the 2nd statement is wrong
	b.	The 1st statement is wrong and the 2nd statement is correct
	c.	Both statements are correct
	d.	Both statements are wrong

A capsomere is the protein coat that envelopes the viral genome. This protein coat is built from subunits called capsids.

	a.	The 1st statement is correct and the 2nd statement is wrong
	b.	The 1st statement is wrong and the 2nd statement is correct
	c.	Both statements are correct
	d.	Both statements are wrong

Answer 1

1. Both the statements are right. Rhizopus stolonifer is commonly known as black bread mold. It is a member of Zygomycota and considered the most important species in the genus Rhizopus.  The basidia are the reproductive organs of fungi, are often contained within the familiar mushroom, commonly seen in fields after rain, on the supermarket shelves.

2. Both statements are wrong. The capsomere is a subunit of the capsid, an outer covering of protein that protects the genetic material of a virus. Capsomeres self-assemble to form the capsid.
