Dolipore Septum Is Present In :

A: Oomycota
B: Basidiomycota
C: Myxomycota
D: Plasmodiophoromycota

The answer is: B

Explanation

Dolipore septum is present in Basidiomycota. The dolipore septum is a specialized cell structure that is found in the hyphae of certain fungi, including the basidiomycetes. The septum is composed of a central pore, which is surrounded by a complex of proteins that help to regulate the movement of cytoplasm and organelles between the two compartments. The dolipore septum is thought to be an important adaptation that allows basidiomycete fungi to grow and reproduce efficiently in a wide range of environments. It is not present in Oomycota, Myxomycota or Plasmodiophoromycota.
