Figure 24.14 Which of the following statements is true?

  1. A dikaryotic ascus that forms in the ascocarp undergoes karyogamy, meiosis, and mitosis to form eight ascospores.

  • A diploid ascus that forms in the ascocarp undergoes karyogamy, meiosiis, and mitosis to form eight ascospores.
  • A haploid zygote that forms in the ascocarp undergoes karyogamy, meiosiis, and mitosis to form eight ascospores.
  • A dikaryotic ascus that forms in the ascocarp undergoes plasmogamy, meiosis, and mitosis to form eight ascospores.

    Summary Introduction

    Introduction:

    Among fungi, Asus is found as the sac-like structure, which contains the haploid structures known as ascospores. These filamentous ascomycetes from the hyphae, which are divided by the septa. These hyphae allow streaming of cytoplasmic matrix from one cell to another.

    Answer to Problem 1VCQ

    Correct answer:

    The correct answer is an option (a).

    Explanation of Solution

    Explanation for the correct answer:

    Option (a)- Dikaryotic hyphae are produced, in which two haploid nuclei. These dikaryotichyphae can be homo or heterokaryotic. In each cell, two haploid nuclei fuse in the process of karyogamy and result in the diploid nucleus, then undergo meiosis and led to the ascospore formation. After the formation, the ascospores germinate and form hyphae.

    Explanation for incorrect answer:

    Option (b)- A diploid ascus does not undergo karyogamy, meiosis,and mitosis to form the eight ascospores because only dikaryotic undergo karyogamy. Hence, this option is incorrect.

    Option (c)- In the same way, a haploid zygote does not undergo the karyogamy, meiosis,andmitosis. Hence, this option is incorrect.

    Option (d)- A dikaryotic ascus only formed by the process of karyogamy not by the plasmogamy meiosis and mitosis to form eight ascospores. Hence, this option is incorrect.

    Conclusion

    Dikaryotic hyphae are produced in which two haploid nuclei with the help of karyogamy, not by the plasmogamy. Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

    After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
