Chytrids - ANSWER -Aquatic life cycle
-No septa present
-Characterized by swimming flagellated spores and flagellated
gametes
-Some species are parasitic to amphibians
Zygote fungi - ANSWER -Zygospore
-Usually asexual reproduction, involving haploid spores that
grow into sporangia
-No septa
-ex: Black bread mold and dung fungus
