A scientist discovers a new species of fungus that introduces genetic diversity during reproduction by creating a diploid zygote. This new species cannot belong to which modern phylum of fungi?

Zygomycota

Glomeromycota

Chytridiomycota

Deuteromycota

Glomeromycota

Explanation:

The phylum Glomeromycota represents a group of fungi where all representatives of this division reproduce asexually forming Glomerospores as reproductive structures. These fungi are characterized by being a species that introduces genetic diversity in the population during reproduction, creating a diploid zygote that results from the union of the nuclei of two mutually compatible cells.
