Q

Describe basidiomycota

A

typical mushroom

stalk, cap, gills

17
Q

Basid means?

18
Q

What kind of spores do ascomycota produce? and where are they produced?

A

Ascospores in ascus

19
Q

Examples of ascomycota

A

sac and cup fungi, yeasts

20
Q

Asko means?

21
Q

Fruiting body of ascomycota

A

the cup or sac

22
Q

What type of spores do zygomycota produce? And where?

A

Spores in sporangia

23
Q

examples of zygomycota

A

common molds, bread + fruit molds

24
Q

Characteristics of zygomycota

A

primitive

no special name for their spores or sporangium

25
Q

What are the two phyla of non-sporangium fungi?

A

Chytridimycota

deuteromycota

26
Q

Describe chytridimycota

A

most aquatic
unicellular
filamentous
can have zoospores that swim

27
Q

describe deuteromycota

A

imperfect fungi with complex or incomplete sexual part of the lifecycle (ringworm, athletes foot)

28
Q

Describe spore formation

A
  1. spores form in sporangiua and are released into air or water
  2. spore lands in suitable moist environment
  3. hyphae extend in all directions
  4. mycellium formed underground
  5. fruiting body with sporangia produced above ground to release spores
29
Q

describe budding

A
  1. occurs in yeast (single cell fungi)
  2. small bulge appears in cell and nucleud divides
  3. bud detaches with a duplicated nucleus
30
Q

Describe conjugation (sexual)

A
  1. Specialized hyphae are + or - mating types
  2. each hyphae forms a gametangium
  3. the gametangia fuse (and nuclei fuse) to form a zygospore
31
Q

Gamete

A

has 1/2 chromosomes

32
Q

Hyphae rhizoids +

A

anchor and absorb nutrients

33
Q

Surface Hyphae

A

called stolon

reproduction
