What three characteristics distinguish chytrids from other fungi d
Flagellated zoospores, cannot form true mycelium, have a aseptate hyphae
How are zygometous fungi similar to chytrids
They aseptate hyphae
Describe sexual reproduction in zygomecetes
Zygosporangium formed by plasmogamy of two types of stains (+ -) they act like gametophytes
What is a common example of zygomycetes
Bread mold
What do phylum glomermycota form with vascular plants
Arbuscular mycorrhizae
Describe the relationship between glomerulomycetous
Plants provide fungus with carbs and then fungi acts as roots for the plant giving it water and nutrients
Sac and club fungi hyphae are divided by what
Septa
Describe the fruiting body of the ascomycetous
Sexually produced spores are called ascospores, they are produced in the sporangium called the ascus. Asci aggregate along the inner surface, 8 ascus will form
