toolmaking.
development of the opposable thumb.
bipedalism.
expansion of the human brain.
use of brain power for abstract thought.
Question 9

sporophyte generation.
diploid generation.

A.are capable of carrying on photosynthesis.
B.reproduce using spores.
C.reproduce using seeds and pollen.
D.are prokaryotes.
E.lack cell nuclei.
Explanation / Answer
Answer 1: Option B
Fungi are eukaryotes and they consist of well developed nucleus, thus options D and E are incorrect. They are heterotrophes, that's why option A is also wrong. Again they can't form seeds and pollen as this is characteristic feature of plants, so option C is also incorrect.
Answer 3: Option B
The features like having hair on the body and ability to feed their young ones with milk, distinguishes them from other animals.
Answer 4: Option E
Secondary metabolites are formed for defense purpose, and they are not involved in growth of plants.
Answer 5: Option E
Cell wall is made of chitin, which gives fungi strength and protect it from any outer harm such as heat or drought states.
