terminal end of hyphae.

Answer 8

followed by fragmentation of hyphae.

Answer 9

Arthrospores

Question 10

They have well developed, branched, septate mycelium except yeast.

Answer 10

Phylum Deuteromycota

Question 11

Sexual reproduction is carried out by diffusion of compatible nuclei from two parent at a definite state in the life cycle of fungi.

Answer 11

Meiosis (NOT SURE)

Question 12

They Are very primitive type of spore formed

by the breaking up of fungal mycelium.

Answer 12

Arthrospores

Question 13

Are single celled, bicelled or multicelled

structure born on the tip or side of aerial hyphal structure.

Answer 13

Conidiospore

Question 14

The vegetative body is mycelium which is well developed, profusely branched and coenocytic.

Answer 14

Phylum Zygomycota

Question 15

In the process of sexual reproduction of fungi,

this phase involves fusion of nucleus.

Answer 15

Karyogamy

Question 16

Cryptococcus neoformans.

Answer 16

Phylum Basidiomycota

Question 17

Genus Penicillum

Answer 17

Phylum Ascomycota

Question 18

The asexual reproduction takes place by

sporangiospores, aplanospores or by conidia. Sexual reproduction occurs by conjugation of gametangia.

Answer 18

Phylum Zygomycota

Question 19

Sexual spores formed when two sexually

compatible hyphae or gametangia of certain fungi fuse together.

Answer 19

Zygospores

Question 20

These sexual spores are unique to the

zygomycetes.

Answer 20

Sporangiospores

Question 21

These sexual spores serve as the main air

dispersal unit for the fungi.

Answer 21

Basidiospores

Question 22

Bread molds.

Answer 22

Phylum Zygomycota

Question 23

Most edible fungi belong to this Phylum.

Answer 23

Phylum Basidiomycota

Question 24

These fungi have a thallus of coenocytic hyphae
in which the nuclei are haploid when the organism
is in the vegetative stage.

Answer 24

Phylum Zygomycota

Question 25

Asexually they reproduce by non-motile conidia. Sexual reproduction takes place by the fusion of gametangia of opposite mating types.

Answer 25

Phylum Ascomycota

Question 26

These are usually formed during unfavorable
condition and are thick walled single celled spore,
which are highly resistant to adverse condition.

Answer 26

Chlamydospores
