Hyphae
Fruiting bodies
-Spores
Multicellular
-Except for yeast

Question 17

Life cycle of fungi

Answer 17

Reproduce sexually and asexually. Asexual reproduction: Spores produced through mitosis. Sexual reproduction: Spores produced through a fusion of nuclei from
two separate fungi.

Primitive, mostly aquatic, effect frogs

Question 22

Yeasts

Answer 22

Single‐celled fungus
 Reproduce by budding.
 Daughter cells are produced as outgrowths of
parental cells.
 Ascomycetes, the basidiomycetes, and the
zygomycetes contain yeast species.
 Saccharomyces cerevisiae
 Beer, wine, and bread

Question 23

Lichens

Answer 23

Composite organisms.
 Fungi and algae or fungi and bacteria.
 Mutualism

Question 24

Mycorrhizae

Answer 24

Up to 90 percent of seed plants live in a
cooperative association with fungi.
 Associations of plant roots and fungal hyphae are
called mycorrhizae
