### 1. Chytrids, glomeromycetes, and zygote fungi

Chytrids, glomeromycetes, and zygote fungi represent the oldest and **most** diverse groups of fungi.

The statements in the following table describe the chytrids, glomeromycetes, and zygote fungi. From the dropdown menus, select which fungal group each statement is describing.

| Description                                             | Fungal Group             |
| ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| Many species are aquatic decomposers.                   | **Chytrids**             |
| Many grow as molds.                                     | **Zygote fungi**         |
| Most species form a mutually beneficial association with plant roots. | **Glomeromycetes**       |

**Explanation of Diagrams:**

In the table, there are two columns: one labeled "Description" and the other labeled "Fungal Group." 

1. The "Description" column lists characteristics of different fungal species:
   - "Many species are aquatic decomposers."
   - "Many grow as molds."
   - "Most species form a mutually beneficial association with plant roots."

2. The "Fungal Group" column contains dropdown menus where you can select one of the three groups of fungi for each description. The user selections in the image identify specific fungal groups for each description:

   - For the description "Many species are aquatic decomposers," the selected fungal group is **Chytrids** (marked as 2 in the dropdown).
   - For the description "Many grow as molds," the selected fungal group is **Zygote fungi** (marked as 3 in the dropdown).
   - For the description "Most species form a mutually beneficial association with plant roots," the selected fungal group is **Glomeromycetes** (marked as 4 in the dropdown).
