The 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)?
O bud scar
O chlorophyll
O daughter cells
O meiotic spores

Some 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?
After a long excursion in the tropics you came back with multiple soil samples from different localities across the Andes. You are interested in discovering new sources of pharmaceuticals and want to test the antibiotic properties of fungi collected from tropical soils at different altitudes. How would you approach this question?. What scientific experiment would you conduct to isolate fungi with antibiotic characteristics?. Please be specific about your design, including your expected outcomes and conclusions from your experiment.

Identify individual yeast cells and locate a budding cellarrow_forwardThe 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.arrow_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.

These small green spherical colonies of up to thousands of Chlamydomonas-like cells, are usually slowly rolling around in the water mount. Is there any type of coordination in a colony like this?arrow_forwardSome fungi exhibit dimorphism, i.e. they can exist in both yeast and mold form. Why is this so? What advantage does this provide for these organisms?arrow_forwardRead these two statements about plant-fungal interactions, then pick the statement below that is TRUE. (A) Root fungi in phylum Ascomycota can cause plants to produce antioxidants that provide protection against the stress of drought, and plants feed carbon to the fungi in their roots. (B) Root fungi and plants have evolved mutual benefits through a long history of interaction, in which fungi that provided the greatest benefits to plants had the highest fitness because of the carbon the plants fed them, and plants that supported fungi had the highest fitness because of the protection provided by the fungi. (A) is a proximate cause for plant-fungal symbiosis, whereas (B) is an ultimate cause. O (A) is an ultimate cause for plant-fungal symbiosis, whereas (B) is a proximate cause. Understanding plant-fungal interactions would NOT require cost-benefit analysis because there are no fitness trade-offs. (A) is an innate behavior and (B) is a learned behavior. O O O Oarrow_forward
