Lecture 6 Flashcards
What are some examples of species found within Phylum Zygomycota discussed in lecture?
Species of fungi found within Phylum ___________ lack septa in their hyphae except when they form sporangia or gametangia. Fill in the blank.
zygomycota
What is a zygosporangium?
produces zygospore
For Zygomycota asexual reproduction, first the hyphae on the surface of the fungus’s food produces clumps of erect stalks called _______________ . Then the spores are released via wind or animals from the ___________. Fill in the blanks.
sporangiophore; sporangia
Make sure you understand the Zygomycota sexual life cycle. You must know the answer via the picture and in word form.
Gametes form, taking 1 and 1 and fusing them inside cytoplasm, (plasmogamy), when fused you form zygosporangium (diploid individual) (karyogamy-fusing them together)
Which statement describes the fungi found within the Phylum Glomeromycota
What is one of the two reason species within the Phylum Glomeromycota are important?
Can form a vesicular mycorrhizal, good relationship with plants giving more nutrients
They were likely instrumental in the colonization of land plants
What are some examples of species found within Phylum Basidomycota discussed in lecture?
Smuts, rots
What is a basidium?
What is the difference between primary and secondary mycelium?
Secondary mycelium will germinate and grow into mushroom
The basdiocarp is made up entirely of _______________. Fill in the blank.
secondary mycelium
Make sure you understand the Basidiomycota life cycle. You must know the answer via the picture and in word form. It is discussed in detail on the lecture video.
About __________ percent of know fungi are found within the Phylum Ascomycota. Fill in the blank.
75
What are some examples of species found within Phylum Ascomycota discussed in lecture?
Make sure you understand the Ascomycota life cycle. You must know the answer via the picture and in word form. It is discussed in detail on the lecture video.
For species found within Phylum Ascomycota to complete asexual reproduction, sometimes it can take place by means of __________ spores cut off by septa at the ends of modified hyphae (stalks) called _______________. Fill in the blanks.
Why does asexual reproduction and not sexual reproduction lead to rapid colonization?
Which statement describes a method yeast can used to asexually reproduce?
Which of these is an example of a fungal animal parasite or pathogen discussed in lecture?
According to the video on What’s Killing the World’s Amphibians, what percent of amphibians are thought to become globally extinct within this century?
According to the video on What’s Killing the World’s Amphibians, how does Chytrid infect and then affect frogs?
Which of these is an example of a fungal plant parasite or pathogen discussed in lecture?
