CTET 1 Mar 2026 Paper 1, Question 64
Solution.
CBSE answer: (4)
Answer: (4) Bread mould
- Moist bread in a closed, warm container is ideal for a fungus to grow.
- Its tiny spores in the air land on the bread and grow into fluffy greenish black patches.
- This fungus is called bread mould.
Trap: Bacteria and yeast are too small to form such visible fuzzy patches, and a mushroom is a large umbrella-shaped fungus.
