Solution
Verified by Toppr

The fungus used most extensively in biochemical and genetic work is Neurospora because of the following reasons.
1. Neurospora are easy to grow and they have short simple lifestyle so in small expenditure of time we can study more about genetics and biochemistry.
2. They are haploid so we have to only deal with one set of genes which are easy to study because more genes will make more complex result.
So the correct answer is 'Neurospora'.
