In fungi, asexual spores are produced by_________ celldivision and have__________ set(s) of chromosomes.Sexual spores are produced by________ cell divisionin a(n)_______ and have_________ set(s) ofchromosomes.
The basidium of the club fungi could be correctly described as;
A reproductive structure that produces diploid spores
A sexual reproductive structure that produces 4 haploid spores
An asexual reproductive structure that produces thousands of spores
A sexually reproductive structure that produces 8 haploid spores

Why not at all times since sexual replication would benefit the gene pool better? what do you think? Original and simple answer please thank you :)arrow_forwardDuring the life cycle of fungi, karyogamy: * O results by meiosis which produces zygote occurs in both sexual and asexual reproduction O occurs in asexual reproduction occurs in sexual reproduction results from spores germinationarrow_forward
- How are fungal spores similar to plant spores? (Choose All That Apply) they are haploid they can be produced by mitosis they can be produced by meiosis they are composed of a single cell they are mulitcellular they are diploidarrow_forwardSome fungal species can undergo both sexual and asexual life cycles. During very hot seasons fungi prefer; Select one: a. Asexual reproduction by mitosis, to reduce its genetic diversity b. Asexual reproduction by mitosis to reduce the number of spores c. Asexual reproduction by mitosis to produce diploid cells d. Sexual reproduction by meiosis to produce haploid spores that can resist extreme conditions e. Asexual reproduction by mitosis, as this process needs less energyarrow_forwardThe Ascomycetes are the largest and most diverse group of fungi. They live in diverse habitats and even include unicellular species know as yeast. Below is a picture of yeasts cells using a SEM. What structure of the yeast cells in the picture is very conspicuous (you may want to read about yeast in our text p. 610)?

- Is it more correct to describe a mushroom as haploid, diploid, both or neither? Explain.arrow_forwardFungi can propagate themselves successfully with their millions of asexual spores. That being the case,why is the production of sexual spores necessary?arrow_forwardOf the fungal structures listed below, which are haploid? Choose all that apply Ohyphae sperm and eggs O zygote sporesarrow_forward
- When the Ascomycetes fungus reproduces sexually, mating type A fungi cross fertilize mating type a fungi. The resulting zygotes undergo meiotic and then mitotic division to produce asci with eight ascospores. The ascospores in the asci are ordered and reflect the position of the parental nuclei in the zygote. Use the passage to answer the question. How is the life cycle of Ascomycetes different from that of humans? A. Haploid cells undergo meiosis. B. Haploid cells undergo mitosis. C. Diploid cells undergo meiosis. D. Diploid cells undergo mitosis.arrow_forwardSome fungi can be viewed as coenocytic organisms that exhibit little differentiation. When differentiation does occur, such as in the formation of reproductive structures, it is preceded by septum formation. Why does this occur?arrow_forwardRelate plasmogamy and karyogamy to the process of fertilization and describe whey we need to separate these two things in the life cycle of the fungi. Differentiate between the monokaryotic and dikaryotic conditions. Compare and contrast an animal life cycle with that of a typical mushroom including the haplophase, dikaryophase, and diplophase, products of meiosis, plasmogamy, and karyogamy.arrow_forward
