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. Briefly describe the two hypotheses that could explain the origin of multicellularity in the Opisthokonta, and then explain which of the two is the more likely hypothesisarrow_forwardDiscuss the life cycle of the brown algae Laminaria, which shows the alternating of generations.arrow_forwardA) Define the coelom and 1. describe its function. B) Give examples of an animal phyla that exhibit all the variation in coelom evolution. 2. Describe the specific morphological features that can be used to assign fungal species to phylum Zygomycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycotaarrow_forward
- When the Ascomycetes fungus reproduces sexually, mating type A fungi cross fertilize mating type a fungi. The resulting zygotes undergo meiotic and then mitotic division to produce asci with eight ascospores. The ascospores in the asci are ordered and reflect the position of the parental nuclei in the zygote. Use the passage to answer the question. How is the life cycle of Ascomycetes different from that of humans? A. Haploid cells undergo meiosis. B. Haploid cells undergo mitosis. C. Diploid cells undergo meiosis. D. Diploid cells undergo mitosis.arrow_forwardWhich 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_forwardGive typed full explanation Which of the following statements is TRUE for the labeled structures? (Choose all the correct answers) a. The structures labeled with the letter a are genetically identical to each other. b. The structure labeled with the letter b is the gametophyte. c. The structures labeled with the letter c (the sperm produced by one antheridium) are genetically different from each other. d. The structure labeled with the letter d is the sporophyte.arrow_forward
