Fungi

Question 1

Cryptomycetes

Answer 1

Small parasitic fungi that lacks a chitin wall. Small and an internal parasite so difficult to locate

Question 2

Microsporidians

Answer 2

formerly protists. obligate intracellular parasites. spore stage uses a polar tube harpoon to infect hosts.

Question 3

Chrytids

Answer 3

unicellular fungi with flagellated spores. notable for decimating specific amphibian populations

Question 4

Zoopagomacytes

Answer 4

mostly parasitic. lack septa, and have multiple nuclei. notable for host behaviour manipulation.

Question 5

Mucoromyctes

Answer 5

Both sexually and asexually reproducing. Lacks septa, and has multiple nuclei. sexual reproduces via the formation of a zygosporangium from fused hyphae, creating diploid organs which further produces haploid spores

Question 6

Ascomycetes

Answer 6

Proper septae hyphae with distinct reproductive cells. form complex ascospores, in where mating produces specific asci, which produces diploid zygotes that undergo mieosis than mitosis.

Question 7

Basidomycetes

Answer 7

septated hyphae. reproduce sexually. separate hyphae merge soon after formation, creating dikaryotic fungi. meisosis occurs in a fruiting body that emerges above ground, in basidia folds.
