question 2
fungal asexual spores ______.
a produce offspring with different combinations of genes from the parent
b are the products of meiotic division by a single parent cell
c cannot be seen using a light microscope
d are used to identify fungi
e are produced when nutrients are limiting

Explanation:

Fungal asexual spores are morphologically distinct and are often used in the identification of fungi. Asexual reproduction in fungi results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent (not with different gene combinations as in sexual reproduction), and asexual spores are produced by mitosis (not meiosis). Many fungal asexual spores can be seen under a light - microscope, and they are not necessarily produced only when nutrients are limiting.

Answer:

D. are used to identify fungi
