45
Q

Sexual Life Cycle of Ascomycota

Neurospora can reproduce sexually by producing specialized hyphae. Conidia of the opposite mating type fuse to these hyphae (+).

PLASMOGAMY

A dikaryotic ascus develops.

KARYOGAMY

Karyogamy occurs within the ascus producing a diploid nucleus. (zygote)

MEIOSIS

The diploid nucleus divides by meiosis, yielding four haploid nuclei.

Each haploid nucleus divides once by mitosis, yielding eight nuclei. Cell walls develop around the nuclei, forming ascospores.

The developing asci are contained in an ascocarp. The ascospores are discharged forcible from the asci through an opening in the ascocarp. Germinating ascospores give rise to new mycelia.
