Chapter 30.2, Problem 1SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The main phylum and phylum-level categories of the kingdom Fungi as well as their reproductive adaptations that differentiate each of the classes.
Introduction:
Fungi were classified as plants for several years, until recently, on the basis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) along with the discovery of chitin in almost all of the fungal cells. It has been shown that animals and fungi, instead of plants and fungi, are closely related to each other. Different genomic studies and advancement in the molecular techniques show how fungi has evolved and are related. Fungal classification is specifically based on the mode of sexual reproduction and molecular data.

- 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.
