Fungi past papers Qs Flashcards
opisthokonts include
animals and fungi and have a singe posterior flagellum e.g. sperm
fungi are grouped into their phylum due to
the different ways in which they reproduce
aspergillus is used in the production of
soy sauce
penicillium
ascomycete
uses of imperfect fungi
penicillium, fermentation of soy athletes foot, favour of roquefort cheese
in which species doe the fusion of hyphae lead to the formation of a zygote
zygomycetes
which species can grow as yeast or as hyphae
ascomycota
dikarya
ascomycetes and basiomycota- mainly ascomycetes
where does mitosis take place in fungi
the nucleus- this is unusual
why are Deuteromycetes called imperfect fungi
the sexual cycle has not be observed
ectomycorrhizae
symbiotic relationship that occurs between a fungal symbiont and the roots of various plant species. The mycobiont tends to be predominantly from the phyla Basidiomycota and Ascomycota,
toad stools are not
basidiomycete
where does par asexuality occur
within heterokaryotic hyphae
role of spindle plaques
fungi regulate the formation of microtubules during mitosis with spindle plaques
fungal components of lichens are mostly
ascomycetes
