Answer
mycelia
Answer
In the space below, diagram generalized haplontic, diplontic, and alternation of generations life cycles.
Make sure to indicate whether each stage in the life cycle is haploid or diploid, and unicellular or
multicellular. Also write the stage's name (e.g., zygote, gametophyte, spore, etc.) if it has one. You don't
need to draw the stages - e.g., for a zygote you can just write "zygote, unicellular, 2N". Also make sure
to indicate where exactly in the life cycle meiosis takes place. Please draw and label these as
possible
clearly
as
Haplontic
Diplontic
Alternation of generations

- 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 energyarrow_forwardA hypothesized evolutionary advantage to asexual reproduction in fungi is that: -It allows them to form resting spores -It protects their genes from mutation -It allows them to avoid phages -It allows them to grow quickly when nutrient levels are richarrow_forwardCompare the morphophysiological characteristics of fungi and plants by making a Venn Diagram.Note: Include all characteristics and describe properly.arrow_forward
- Fungi and animals are both part of a group called Opisthokonta. The vast majority of fungi are multicellular. However, their sister taxon consists of unicellular species. Animals also are multicellular and their closest relatives are again unicellular.
