Kingdom Fungi

Question 1

Asci/Ascus

Answer 1

Inner sac-like regions of fungus that hold spores (Ascomycota)

Question 2

Ascocarp

Answer 2

The larger, outer macrovisible structure of the Asci/Ascus (Ascomycota)

Question 3

Ascopspores

Answer 3

The spores produced in the Asci (Ascomycota)

Question 4

Basidia/Basidium

Answer 4

Club shaped reproductive structure (Basidiomycota)

Question 5

Basidiocarp

Answer 5

Body of the mushroom (Basidiomycota)

Question 6

Basidiospores

Answer 6

Spores produced in the Basidia/Basidium (Basidiomycota)

Question 7

Chitin

Answer 7

A complex carbohydrate; a form of protection from natural natural threats, and the reason fungus absorbs food instead of engulfing it.

Question 8

Conidia

Answer 8

spores produced during asexual reproduction in ascomycetes; not formed in sporangia

Question 9

Gills

Answer 9

hold spores in fungi

Question 10

Heterokaryotic Stage

Answer 10

The presence of different nuclei in the same cytoplasm that have yet to fuse

Question 11

Hyphae

Answer 11

Threadlike filaments that form to make hyphae

Question 12

Imperfect Fungi

Answer 12

Fungi that reproduce only asexually

Question 13

Karyogamy

Answer 13

fusion of the haploid nuclei to the diploid zygote

Question 14

Mycelium

Answer 14

Made from hyphae; the network which makes up the body of fungus

Question 15

Pileus

Answer 15

The cap of the mushroom

Question 16

Plasmogamy

Answer 16

mycelium of 2 of the same sexes (species) and their cytoplasm fuses

Question 17

Stipe

Answer 17

the stalk or stem

Question 18

Thallus

Answer 18

the body

Question 19

Zygosporangia

Answer 19

Multinucleate; resistant to external threats (freeze or dry)

- metabollically dormant

Question 20

Zygospores

Answer 20

Result of meiosis (haploid), spores released will land & grow.
