Nope.
27
for the lucky few fungi that do have sex, how do they do it? ;)

Dikaryotic
31
What is it called when two nuclei fuse?
karyogamy.
32
What are the advantages of long-term maintenance of the dikaryotic state?
Flaws in one hapliod genome can be compensated for by teh good regions in the other genome.
33
What fungal phylum contains chytridion?
Chyidiomycota
34
What does 'Chytridion' mean?
Flower pot
35
What is unique among all fungi found within chyidiomycota?
A flagellated stage.
36
What fungal phylum has a flagellated stage?
Chytridiomycota.
37
What fungal phylum undergoes alternation of generations?
Chytridiomycota.
38
Are Chytridiomycota monophyletic?
No they are not.
39
what are the Chytridiomycota cell walls made of?
Chitin
40
What is the digestive method of Chytridiomycota?
Absorptive mode of nutrition
41
Why do Chytridiomycota suck so much
They are linked to the global decline of amphibians, They eat the FROGS!!!!
42
What is the fungal phylum that starts with Z
Zygomycota
43
What does the root word "zygo" mean?
joined/yoked/twinned.
44
True or false: | Zygomycota are monophyletic
False | They are not.
45
What is the latin name for the Zygomycota fugal species called "black bread mold"
Rhizopus stolonifer
46
What is the most common mold?
Rhizopus stolonifer
47
What type of hyphae do Zygomycota have?
Coenocytic
48
Do Zygomycota reproduce asexually or sexually?
They reproduce asexually when conditions are good. And sexually when things get bad.
49
Can Fungi mate with the same mating type?
Nope | only with different types.
50
How do you distinguish between fungi mating types?
Although morphologically the same, they produce different chemical markers.
51
How do Zygomycota reproduce?
The hyphae of the mating types grow towards each other. A small separate region develops at tip of each hypha
52
What is a gametangium?
the region/tip of the Zygomycota that is involved in sexual reproduction.
53
do gametangium have gametes?
nope.
54
What happens once sexual reproduction occurs in Zygomycota?
thick walled Zygosporangium develops.
55
True or false: | Zygosporangium can contain several nuclei from each mating type
True
56
what happens within a Zygosporangiumthat leads to the production of several mini 2N zygotes?
Karyogamy.
57
When conditions become good, zygotes within Zygomycota enegage in _____ and repeat ________ to produce stalked 1n sporangium.

ascocarps
64
What does the root word "carp" mean?
Fruit.
65
How do Ascomycota reproduce asexually?
By repeatedly walling off tips of hyphae into fragments called Conidia

69
What is a Viola? (within Ascomycota)
8 neatly arranged nuclei, each of which becomes an ascospore.
70
What is the fungi Phlyum that goes by the common name 'club fungi'
Basidiomycota
71
What does the root word 'basidium' mean?
pedestal
72
What role does Basidiomycota play in the wild?
very important decompersers of dead plant matter, especially lignin.
73
Basidiomycota has a typically long lasting ______ ___________ within its life cycle.
Dikaryotic mycelium.
74
For Basidiomycota, when conditions are good, how do they reproduce?
Spore production produces sexual fruiting bodies called basidiocarps.
75
Basidiomycota have gilled ridges (common mushroom) what are they called? and where are they located?
The Basidiomycota have a cap, and under it they have gills
76
What are Basidiomycota gills lined with?
Basidia
77
What are the characteristics of mature Basidiomycota
based topped with 4 basidiospores, each containing one of the haploid nuclei resulting from meiosis.
78
What are the two fungi that reproduces purely asexually?
Molds and yeasts.
79
What is unique about molds?
They rapidly grow, asexually reproducing fungi that grow as hyphae.
80
What is the only mold type growth form that is known?
Fungi imperfecti
81
What is unique about yeasts?
Yeasts are unicelluar fungi that inhabit liquid or moist habitats. Yeasts reproduce asexually by pinching off bed cells from parent cells.
82
What are Mycorrhizae?
Mycorrhizae represent mutualistic symbioses of plant roots and fungi.
83
What are Lichen?
A lichen is a symbiotic mixture of fungal hyphae and photosynthetic partners.
