The fungus Botrytis cinerea is a pathogen of plants, and causes high losses of strawberry crops around the world.  In Europe, most B. cinerea fungi are killed by fungicides (chemicals sprayed on the crops to kill the fungus).  However, some B. cinerea are resistant, and continue to live even when exposed to fungicides.  If the currently-used fungicides continue to be sprayed on strawberry crops in Europe, what is expected to happen? (Choose one.)   a)The strawberries will eventually become larger and more resistant to fungicides.   b)The strawberries will form a beneficial association (mutualism) with the B. cinerea, and both will be resistant to the fungicides.   c)Strawberry plants will preferentially be colonized by B. cinerea that are not resistant to fungicides.   d) The proportion of B. cinerea that are resistant to fungicides will increase in the population over time, and these fungicides will no longer be effective at killing most of these fungi.

Fungal Infections

Fungal infection can be defined as an infectious disease caused by fungi. A fungal infection is also referred to as mycosis. Fungal infections are contagious, spreading from person to person. Mycosis can be contracted even from an infected animal or contaminated soil. The most common symptom is skin rashes and vaginal discharge in females.
