Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • Statement I: Some Ascomycota and Basidiomycota species can cause plant - diseases, which is true. For example, some Ascomycota cause apple scab and some Basidiomycota cause rust diseases in plants.
  • Statement II: Only Ascomycota (yeast, a type of Ascomycota) is used to make bread rise, not Basidiomycota, so this is false.
  • Statement III: Not all species in both groups are edible. Some can be poisonous, so this is false.
  • Statement IV: Ascomycota produce spores in asci (sac - like structures) and Basidiomycota produce spores in basidia (club - shaped structures), which is true.
