A

Zygomycota

43
Q

What does the root word “zygo” mean?

A

joined/yoked/twinned.

44

Zygomycota are monophyletic

A

False

They are not.

45
Q

What is the latin name for the Zygomycota fugal species called “black bread mold”

A

Rhizopus stolonifer

46
Q

What is the most common mold?

A

Rhizopus stolonifer

47
Q

What type of hyphae do Zygomycota have?

A

Coenocytic

48
Q

Do Zygomycota reproduce asexually or sexually?

A

They reproduce asexually when conditions are good.

And sexually when things get bad.

49
Q

Can Fungi mate with the same mating type?

A

Nope

only with different types.

50
Q

How do you distinguish between fungi mating types?

A

Although morphologically the same, they produce different chemical markers.

51
Q

How do Zygomycota reproduce?

A

The hyphae of the mating types grow towards each other.

A small separate region develops at tip of each hypha

52
Q

What is a gametangium?

A

the region/tip of the Zygomycota that is involved in sexual reproduction.

53
Q

do gametangium have gametes?

A

nope.

54
Q

What happens once sexual reproduction occurs in Zygomycota?

A

thick walled Zygosporangium develops.

55
Q

True or false:

Zygosporangium can contain several nuclei from each mating type

A

True

56
Q

what happens within a Zygosporangiumthat leads to the production of several mini 2N zygotes?

A

Karyogamy.

57
Q

When conditions become good, zygotes within Zygomycota enegage in _____ and repeat ________ to produce stalked 1n sporangium.

A

Meiosis

Mitosis

58
Q

What fungal phylum is defined by its symbiotic relationship between roots and plants?

A

Glomeromycota

A

very important decompersers of dead plant matter, especially lignin.

Q

Basidiomycota has a typically long lasting ______ ___________ within its life cycle.

A

Dikaryotic mycelium.

74
Q

For Basidiomycota, when conditions are good, how do they reproduce?

A

Spore production produces sexual fruiting bodies called basidiocarps.

75
Q

Basidiomycota have gilled ridges (common mushroom) what are they called? and where are they located?

A

The Basidiomycota have a cap, and under it they have gills

76
Q

What are Basidiomycota gills lined with?

A

Basidia

77
Q

What are the characteristics of mature Basidiomycota

A

based topped with 4 basidiospores, each containing one of the haploid nuclei resulting from meiosis.

78
Q

What are the two fungi that reproduces purely asexually?

A

Molds and yeasts.

79
Q

What is unique about molds?

A

They rapidly grow, asexually reproducing fungi that grow as hyphae.

80
