Fungi

Fungi can be single-celled or complex multicellular creatures. They are found in pretty much any natural surroundings; however, they generally live on the land, principally in soil or plant material instead of in the ocean or water. Fungi are the members of the group called the decomposers that live off dead and decaying matters. Fungi assume a significant part in the carbon cycle and its different components. They act as a parasite by causing illnesses like rusts, scabs, or ulcers. In crops, contagious illnesses can prompt critical money-related misfortune for the rancher. An exceptionally modest number of growths cause illnesses in creatures. In people, these incorporate skin illnesses such as competitors' feet, ringworm, and thrush.

When the Ascomycetes fungus reproduces sexually, mating type A fungi cross fertilize mating type a fungi. The resulting zygotes undergo meiotic and then mitotic division to produce asci with eight ascospores. The ascospores in the asci are ordered and reflect the position of the parental nuclei in the zygote. Use the passage to answer the question. How is the life cycle of Ascomycetes different from that of humans? A. Haploid cells undergo meiosis. B. Haploid cells undergo mitosis. C. Diploid cells undergo meiosis. D. Diploid cells undergo mitosis.

Distinguish among fungi that are haploid, dikaryotic, or diploid by completing the following statements, referring to the figure as necessary. n+n sexual n diploid contains paired haploid nuclei dikaryotic 2n A haploid asexual Saved B Fungi reproduce both sexually and asexually. In terrestrial fungi, reproduction occurs in three stages. One stage, depicted in part A of the figure above, is termed point each cell is First, days, months, or years, the Another stage, depicted in part B of the figure above, is termed stage takes its name from the term for a hypha that each cell is C at which 20 hyphae pair up. Sometimes immediately, other times after hyphae make contact and fuse...

After plasmogamy has occurred, many molds (Mucoromycetes) exist in a heterokaryotic stage for up to centuries at a time. What occurs at the immediate end of this stage? The nuclei fuse in a process called karyogamy. The hyphae fuse in a process called karyogamy. Diploid spores are produced in various spore-producing structures. A haploid zygote is formed that becomes multicellular through repeated rounds of mitosis.
