NEET Biology QUESTION #7237
Question 1
The thalloid body of a slime mould (Myxomycetes) is known as:
  • Fruiting body
  • Mycelium
  • Protonema
  • Plasmodium✔️
Correct Answer Explanation
In slime moulds (Myxomycetes), the vegetative body is a plasmodium — a multinucleate, acellular mass of protoplasm that moves and engulfs food. It is not a true mycelium (fungal hyphae network) nor a protonema (moss juvenile stage).
