Fungi and plants resemble each other because they both

a. have cells surrounded by cell walls.
b. are typically heterotrophic.
c. often cause disease.
d. are composed of cells with two different nuclei.

The two different nuclei are characteristic of heterokaryon fungal hyphae and are not found in plants. Neither fungi nor flowering plants have flagellated cells (choice e).
