Answer:

The right answer to this question is: Penicillium does not seem to have sexual phase

Explanation:

This classification of fungi, Deuteromycota, are imperfect, they don't have sexual reproduction at all, at least the scientists couldn't find it until now. With that, the genetic variability is pretty low on this population,

They do their reprodution using something called asexual conidiophores, and through this, they can generate their descendents.
