Vedclass · Answer

(D) Slime molds are saprophytic protists. During unfavorable conditions,the plasmodium differentiates and forms fruiting bodies bearing spores at their tips. During favorable conditions,these spores disperse and germinate to form new plasmodium or amoeboid cells. Therefore,under unfavorable conditions,they form fruiting bodies (which contain spores),and under favorable conditions,they exist as plasmodium. However,in the context of standard $NCERT$ biology,slime molds form an aggregation called $Plasmodium$ under suitable conditions and form fruiting bodies bearing spores under unfavorable conditions. Thus,the correct sequence is $Plasmodium$ (favorable) and spores/fruiting bodies (unfavorable). Given the options,the question asks for unfavorable then favorable: Unfavorable = $Fruiting  bodies/Spores$,Favorable = $Plasmodium$.

During unfavorable and favorable conditions,slime molds form $..........$ and $..........$,respectively.
