- Describe the unusual morphology of actinoplanete sporesarrow_forwardDifferentiate between the Ascomycota and the Basidiomycota in terms of the cells that produce spores and the spores produced. Differentiate between a cleistothecium, apothecium, and perithecium/pseudothecium. Differentiate among the main groups for basidiomycetes in the Friesian system: the Agaricaceae, Boletaceae, Cantharellaceae, Hydnaceae, Clavariaceae, Thelephoraceae, Polyporaceae, Gasteromycetes, and Jelly fungi.Identify members of the categories in Matchmaker: Gilled, Boletes, Polypores, Toothed, Veined, Morels etc., Cups, Bird's Nest, Corals Clubs, Jelly Fungi, Crusts, Puffballs, Truffles, and Other.arrow_forwardSuperficially, Apiosporina morbosa (causal agent of black knot of cherry) appears morphologically similar to members of the Xylariales as both produce melanized stroma. However, the former is found in the Class Loculoascomycetes while the latter are found in the Class Pyrenomycetes. Why? Discuss the main differences.arrow_forward
- Describe the life cycle of a member of the Basidiomycota including the following terms/structures: basidiocarp, basidiospore, basidium, clamp connection, dikaryotic, diploid, haploid, karyogamy, meiosis, monokaryotic, plasmogamy, primary mycelium, secondary mycelium, tertiary mycelium. Differentiate between homothallism and heterothallism. Differentiate between unifactorial (bipolar) and bifactorial (tetrapolar) heterothallism.arrow_forwardDescribe two ways in which fungal spores arise. Asexual spores, sporiangiospores, chlamydiospores etc..arrow_forwardDescribe two ways in which fungal spores arise. Sexual spores= zygosporesarrow_forward
- Complete the following table distinguishing the true fungi phyla based on reproduction. SEXUAL reproduction through conjugation of 2 different mating strains ASEXUAL reproduction by conidial ASEXUAL reproduction by spores (produced in sporangia) ASEXUAL reproduction by conidia (produced on tips of conidiophores) or budding Do not perform SEXUAL reproduction. SEXUAL reproduction by fusion of 2 mating types of monokaryotic hyphae. Resulting dikaryotic mycelium often develops basidiomata SEXUAL reproduction through the union of male and female structures, followed by formation of asci ASEXUAL reproduction by zoospores (produced in zoosporangia) ASEXUAL reproduction is rare, but can occur by conidia. SEXUAL reproduction through fusion of two motile or non-motile gameres PHYLUM Chytridiomycota The Chytrids Zygomycota: The Coenocytic True Fungi Ascomycota: The Sac Fungi Basidiomycota: The Club Fungi Deuteromycota: The Imperfect Fungi ASEXUAL SEXUAL REPRODUCTION REPRODUCTIONarrow_forwardDescribe two ways in which fungal spores arise. Multicellular= mold (25C)arrow_forwardYeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (unicellular fungus): 1. Observe yeast colonies on the Figure-3. Note the shape of the colonies. 2. In figure-3 w lathe arrows indicate? Source: https://bio.libretexts.org/ How yeast cells are different than other Ascomycetes Figure 3 5umarrow_forward
- In the following diagram of a black bread mold (Rhizopus stolonifer), identify the following structures of a multicellular fungus: mycelium, rhizoids, stolon, sporangium, sporangiophore, sporangiospores. After that, give a brief description/function of each structure: 1. Hypha/Mycelium 2. Rhizoid 3. Stolon 4. Sporangium 5. Sporesarrow_forwardWhat are the distinguishing characteristics of each of the following fungal groups: zygomycetes, glomeromycetes, ascomycetes, and basidiomycetes?arrow_forwardhttp://botit.botany.wisc.edu/Resources/Botany/Fungi/Ascomycota/Peziza/ How do find out which one is the ascospore in Peziza apothecium?arrow_forward
