Match the statement with the terms -members of this phylum can produce spores through two kinds of sporangia, one of which is known as a conidium.                                                                                       -this phylum contains organisms that most closely resemble the common ancestor of fungi                                                                                       -a member of this phylum includes the mold Rhizopus stolonifer                                                                                       -reproduces only sexually   Terms- -Zygommycota -Chytridiomycota -Glomermycota -Basidiomycota -Ascomycota
