In plasmodial slime molds, the haploid condition is the dominant part of the life cycle. D. Cellular slime molds have fruiting bodies that function in sexual reproduction. E. Cellular slime molds form masses when food is scarce, but their cells remain separated .

Basidiomycota is a division of the Kingdom Fungi. They include groups such as mushrooms, and reproduce sexually through the formation of cells called basidia.

The spores inherit half their genes from each parent.   B. The spores inherit haploid nuclei from their parents.   C. The spores inherit mutations as a result of meiosis.   D. The spores inherit mutations as a result of mitosis.

Which statement about protists is true?   a. Protists have many different metabolic lifestyles.   b. Almost all protists are parasitic.   c. All protists use pseudopods or cilia to locomote.   d.
