Answer to Problem 3MI
The correct vocabulary term for the definition is given below:
Term | Definition |
Stolons | In molds, hyphae that spread across the surface of food. |
Rhizoids | In molds, hyphae that penetrate food and absorb nutrients. |
Gametangium | A mold reproductive structure that contains a haploid nucleus. |
Conidiophores | In sac fungi, hyphae that produce spores on their tips for asexual reproduction. |
Ascocarp | In sac fungi, a reproductive structure where a zygote forms during sexual reproduction. |
Ascus | In sac fungi, a saclike structure where spores develop during sexual reproduction. |
Ascospores | Spores produced by the ascus in sac fungi. |
Basidiocarp | Fruiting body of club fungi. |
Basidia | Club-shaped hyphae that produce spores in club fungi. |
Explanation of Solution
Members of ascomycetes are also called as sac fungi. They reproduce asexually by conidiospores. The sexual spores are called ascospores formed in the fruiting body called ascocarp which contains ascus. Members of basidiomycetes are also called club fungi. Asexual reproduction occurs by conidia, budding or fragmentation and they reproduce sexually by formation of basidiospores in the basidia which are present in the fruiting body called basidiocarp.
