zygote makes_____ by _____
spores by meiosis
only diploid stage in zygotic meiosis
zygote
asexual life cycle is _____
haploid (no meiosis)
what makes up the stages in the asexual life cycle

how does asexual reproduction happen in Phylum Ascomycota
via production of naked spores called conidia or by budding
what is the defining feature of the Phylum Ascomycota (along with all other fungal phyla)
sexual structures
what phyla is yeast
Phylum Ascomycota
what phyla is Penicillium
Phylum Ascomycota
how does Penicillium reproduce asexually
by conidia
conidia
spores that bud off of hyphae-like conidiophores
what does sexual reproduction in Phylum Ascomycota involve
the formation of saclike structures (ascus) within which haploid ascospores are produced following meiosis
how are the ascospores held together in the ascus
a mitotic division IMMEDIATELY follows meiosis which results in the spores being held together
how are asci formed
in a complex structure called an ascocarp
what do the asci usually develop as
a layer inside the ascocarp
why are ascocarps located on the outer edge of the plant stem of Erysisphe
adaption for spore dispersal by air currents

apothecium
