Solution:
Puccinia is a rust fungus belonging to the class Basidiomycetes. Organisms in this group, along with Ascomycetes, are characterized by the presence of dikaryotic hyphae (n+n stage) during a significant phase of their life cycle. Endogenously produced meiospores (ascospores) are found in Ascomycetes. Coenocytic hyphae are typical of lower fungi (Phycomycetes). Well-developed sex organs are often absent or reduced in Basidiomycetes.
