- Distinguish among fungi that are haploid, dikaryotic, or diploid by completing the following statements, referring to the figure as necessary. n+n sexual n diploid contains paired haploid nuclei dikaryotic 2n A haploid asexual Saved B Fungi reproduce both sexually and asexually. In terrestrial fungi, reproduction occurs in three stages. One stage, depicted in part A of the figure above, is termed point each cell is First, days, months, or years, the Another stage, depicted in part B of the figure above, is termed stage takes its name from the term for a hypha that each cell is C at which 20 hyphae pair up. Sometimes immediately, other times after hyphae make contact and fuse... This at which point Upon fusion, the hyphae are at the stage represented by part C of the figure above, stage, at which point each cell is termed the Reset *arrow_forwardDescribe the unusual morphology of actinoplanete sporesarrow_forwardDifferentiate between the Ascomycota and the Basidiomycota in terms of the cells that produce spores and the spores produced. Differentiate between a cleistothecium, apothecium, and perithecium/pseudothecium. Differentiate among the main groups for basidiomycetes in the Friesian system: the Agaricaceae, Boletaceae, Cantharellaceae, Hydnaceae, Clavariaceae, Thelephoraceae, Polyporaceae, Gasteromycetes, and Jelly fungi.Identify members of the categories in Matchmaker: Gilled, Boletes, Polypores, Toothed, Veined, Morels etc., Cups, Bird's Nest, Corals Clubs, Jelly Fungi, Crusts, Puffballs, Truffles, and Other.arrow_forward
- Label A-H from image as the following: I: Dikaryotic II: Basidiospores III: Plasmogamy IV: Meiosis V: Diploid VI: Haploid VII: Karyogamy VIII: Zygotearrow_forwardSuperficially, Apiosporina morbosa (causal agent of black knot of cherry) appears morphologically similar to members of the Xylariales as both produce melanized stroma. However, the former is found in the Class Loculoascomycetes while the latter are found in the Class Pyrenomycetes. Why? Discuss the main differences.arrow_forwardDescribe the life cycle of a member of the Basidiomycota including the following terms/structures: basidiocarp, basidiospore, basidium, clamp connection, dikaryotic, diploid, haploid, karyogamy, meiosis, monokaryotic, plasmogamy, primary mycelium, secondary mycelium, tertiary mycelium. Differentiate between homothallism and heterothallism. Differentiate between unifactorial (bipolar) and bifactorial (tetrapolar) heterothallism.arrow_forward
- Complete the following table distinguishing the true fungi phyla based on reproduction. SEXUAL reproduction through conjugation of 2 different mating strains ASEXUAL reproduction by conidial ASEXUAL reproduction by spores (produced in sporangia) ASEXUAL reproduction by conidia (produced on tips of conidiophores) or budding Do not perform SEXUAL reproduction. SEXUAL reproduction by fusion of 2 mating types of monokaryotic hyphae. Resulting dikaryotic mycelium often develops basidiomata SEXUAL reproduction through the union of male and female structures, followed by formation of asci ASEXUAL reproduction by zoospores (produced in zoosporangia) ASEXUAL reproduction is rare, but can occur by conidia. SEXUAL reproduction through fusion of two motile or non-motile gameres PHYLUM Chytridiomycota The Chytrids Zygomycota: The Coenocytic True Fungi Ascomycota: The Sac Fungi Basidiomycota: The Club Fungi Deuteromycota: The Imperfect Fungi ASEXUAL SEXUAL REPRODUCTION REPRODUCTIONarrow_forwardWhat are the two organisms that are the cause of these two fungal diseases?
