Chapter 29, Problem 12PIAT
MODEL Both asexual sporangia (shown in the photo) and zygosporangia can be found in cow dung. Make a simplified drawing that illustrates the events of plasmogamy, karyogamy, and meiosis that occur during sexual reproduction in Pilobolus. Be sure to indicate and label the zygosporangium.

- Which statement about life cycles with a dikaryon stage is false? A zygosporangium results from the fusion of two coenocytic hyphae. In effect, the dikaryon is neither diploid nor haploid. Dikaryotic hyphae often have characteristics that are different from those of their n or 2n products. The only true diploid structure is the zygote. There are no gamete cells, only gamete nuclei.arrow_forwardIn fungi, asexual spores are produced by_________ celldivision and have__________ set(s) of chromosomes.Sexual spores are produced by________ cell divisionin a(n)_______ and have_________ set(s) ofchromosomes.arrow_forwardFigure 23.25 Which of the following statements about Paramecium sexual reproduction is false? The macronuclei are derived from micronuclei. Both mitosis and meiosis occur during sexual reproduction. The conjugate pair swaps macronuclei. Each parent produces four daughter cellsarrow_forward
- The basidium of the club fungi could be correctly described as; A reproductive structure that produces diploid spores A sexual reproductive structure that produces 4 haploid spores An asexual reproductive structure that produces thousands of spores A sexually reproductive structure that produces 8 haploid sporesarrow_forwardReproductive structures are the critical factors in distinguishing algae from true plants of kingdom Plantae. What is one fundamental difference between reproductive structures in these two groups?arrow_forwardAfter 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.arrow_forward
