How does each fungus infect a host and spread to new hosts?What can humans do to fight each disease? What are the costs andbenefits of doing so?arrow_forward
- How can ascomycetes be distinguished from basidiomycetes?a. Ascomycete hyphae have simple pores in their septa and lack clampconnections, whereas basidiomycete hyphae display complex septalpores and clamp connections.b. Ascomycetes produce sexual spores in sacs, whereasbasidiomycetes produce sexual spores on the surfaces of clubshaped structures.c. Ascomycetes are commonly found in lichens, whereasbasidiomycetes are less commonly partners in lichen associations.d. Ascomycetes are not commonly mycorrhizal partners, butbasidiomycetes are commonly present in mycorrhizal associations.e. All of the above are correct.arrow_forwardIn a culture of hyphae of unknown origin, you notice that the hyphae lack septa and that the fungi reproduce asexually by using clumps of erect stalks. However, at times sexual reproduction can be observed. To what group of fungi would you assign it?a. Chytridiomycotab. Basidiomycotac. Ascomycotad. Zygomycotaarrow_forwardWhich statement/s about fungi is/are true? * I. Fungi can live in marine environments. II. Saprophytic fungi are organisms that lives on dead or decaying organic matter. III. The active growth of fungi depends on a relatively high percentage of moisture in the environment. IV. Lichens are complex life form that is a symbiotic partnership of two separate organisms, a fungus and an alga.arrow_forward
- The feeding hyphae of a basidiomycete are mostlya. haploid. c. dikaryotic.b. diploid. d. acellular.arrow_forwardIn most_______ , an extensive dikaryotic mycelium is the longest-lived phase of the life cycle. a. chytrids c. sac fungi b. zygote fungi d. club fungiarrow_forwardIn the life cycle of a typical basidiomycete, you would expect to find a dikaryotic cell in thea. primary mycelium.b. secondary mycelium.c. basidiospores.d. zygote.arrow_forward
- 1) Lichens are often early colonizers, growing on bare rock and in areas where there are no plants yet. How can lichens survive in such habitats, where there is seemingly no nutrients and harsh physical conditions? 2) Distinguish between a hypha (hyphae) and a mycelium. Give an example of a species you observed each in today.arrow_forwardThe main growth form of fungi is made up of Select one: O a. hyphae O b. gametangia O c. fruiting bodies O d. sporangia O e. moldsarrow_forwardThe wall dividing individual cells in a fungal filament is called a a. thallus b. hypha c. mycelium d. septumarrow_forward
