  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.

    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).

    You have been hired as a public relations specialist to give invertebrates a good name. After all, they are much more than just creepy crawly bugs! Your first task though is to convince yourself that is true. The best way to do that is to start close to home. Find something in your house that is a product obtained directly from an invertebrate or only due to an invertebrate’s actions. Describe the product, its function and utility, as well as any human manufactured alternatives. Be sure to highlight the advantages of obtaining this directly from nature. Keep in mind, a product can be something you use, wear, eat, or enjoy for its visual appeal.
