Suppose that we have a population of fungal spores which clearly fall into two size categories, large and small. We incubate these spores on agar and count the number of spores that germinate by producing a single outgrowth or multiple outgrowths. The null hypothesis is that spore size and outgrowth are independent of each other. Based on the actual data shown below what is the expected number of large spores with single outgrowths (give answer to 1 decimal place)? Use this handy chi-squared calculator.

What are the activities of a plasmodial slime mold when it is in the plasmodial form?
Individual amoebae (Dictyostelium discoideum) occasionally aggregate into a colony. About 20 percent of the amoebae in the colony make up a stalk that supports a ball composed of the remainder of the amoebae. The stalk-forming individuals die without reproducing, whereas the amoebae in the ball, or fruiting body, give rise to spores that can become new individuals after the spores are carried away from the colony by passing insects and the like. On occasion two genetically different strains of the amoeba cooperate in the formation of a stalked fruiting body. What evolutionary puzzle is posed by this observation? Use kin (indirect) selection theory to make a prediction about the genetic similarity of the strains that work together when forming a colony versus those that do not.

identify the following:1. The sexual fruiting body in the genus Coprinus.2. The specific layer of the lichen body or thallus that is photosynthetic in function.3. A club shaped structure that directly produce haploid spores in the Coprinus sp.
Some fungal species can undergo both sexual and asexual life cycles. During very hot seasons fungi prefer; Select one: a. Asexual reproduction by mitosis, to reduce its genetic diversity b. Asexual reproduction by mitosis to reduce the number of spores c. Asexual reproduction by mitosis to produce diploid cells d. Sexual reproduction by meiosis to produce haploid spores that can resist extreme conditions e. Asexual reproduction by mitosis, as this process needs less energy
