Concept explainers

Fungi

Fungi can be single-celled or complex multicellular creatures. They are found in pretty much any natural surroundings; however, they generally live on the land, principally in soil or plant material instead of in the ocean or water. Fungi are the members of the group called the decomposers that live off dead and decaying matters. Fungi assume a significant part in the carbon cycle and its different components. They act as a parasite by causing illnesses like rusts, scabs, or ulcers. In crops, contagious illnesses can prompt critical money-related misfortune for the rancher. An exceptionally modest number of growths cause illnesses in creatures. In people, these incorporate skin illnesses such as competitors' feet, ringworm, and thrush.

Definition Definition Diverse group of organisms that primarily obtain nutrients through absorption. They range from single-celled yeasts to complex multi-cellular structures such as mushrooms. Fungi play important roles in ecosystems as decomposers, plant symbionts, and even pathogens. They also have practical uses in medicine, food production, and industry.

please answer, do not copy from google please What is the shape of the ascus? The ascospores inside the asci are produced by meiosis. Are ascospores haploid or diploid? Interspersed among the asci are sterilefilaments, the paraphyses. Deduce the function of paraphyses. The ascospores are released from the asci and undergo mitotic division upon germination. Are the individuals germinating from ascospores haploid or diploid?

In the moss Polytrichum commune, the haploidchromosome number is 7. A haploid male gametefuses with a haploid female gamete to form a diploid cell that divides and develops into the multicellular sporophyte. Cells of the sporophyte thenundergo meiosis to produce haploid cells calledspores. What is the probability that an individualspore will contain a set of chromosomes all ofwhich came from the male gamete?

Mitosis Meiosis Definition Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Prophase I Metaphase I Anaphase I Telophase I Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II Steps of each phase Number of cell divisions Number of cells produced *How many chromosomes per 46 daughter cell? * Mitosis starts with 46 chromosomes in each parent cell, and then ends with 46 chromosomes in each daughter cell. Cells divide onl once in Mitosis, but they divide twice during Meiosis, so we should end with half as many chromosomes in Meiosis vs Mitosis.
