Q

Three Nuclear states of hyphae

A

Monokaryotic (1 nucleus)
Dikaryotic (2 nuclei)
Coenocytic (mutinucleate, no septa)

Vegetative mycelium is usually haploid (n) or dikaryotic (n+n)

Fungi usually n, oomycetes usually n+n

17
Q

Basidiomycota

A

Fungi including rusts, smuts, mushrooms, produce basidiospores (meiosporic)

18
Q

Mitosporic fungi

A

Deuteromycetes, asexual spores (conidia)

19
Q

Mycobiont (lichen component)

A

Symbiosis with algae or Cyanobacteria; can’t survive without the other

20
Q

Mycorrhizae

A

Mutualism with plants, increase water and nutrient absorption
