Lecture 6

Question 1

What are some examples of species found within Phylum Zygomycota discussed in lecture?

Question 2

Species of fungi found within Phylum ___________ lack septa in their hyphae except when they form sporangia or gametangia. Fill in the blank.

Answer 2

zygomycota

Question 3

What is a zygosporangium?

Answer 3

produces zygospore

Question 4

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.

Answer 4

sporangiophore; sporangia

Question 5

Make sure you understand the Zygomycota sexual life cycle. You must know the answer via the picture and in word form.

Answer 5

Gametes form, taking 1 and 1 and fusing them inside cytoplasm, (plasmogamy), when fused you form zygosporangium (diploid individual) (karyogamy-fusing them together)

Question 6

Which statement describes the fungi found within the Phylum Glomeromycota

Question 7

What is one of the two reason species within the Phylum Glomeromycota are important?

Answer 7

Can form a vesicular mycorrhizal, good relationship with plants giving more nutrients
They were likely instrumental in the colonization of land plants

Question 8

What are some examples of species found within Phylum Basidomycota discussed in lecture?

Answer 8

Smuts, rots

Question 9

What is a basidium?

Question 10

What is the difference between primary and secondary mycelium?

Answer 10

Secondary mycelium will germinate and grow into mushroom

Question 11

The basdiocarp is made up entirely of _______________. Fill in the blank.

Answer 11

secondary mycelium

Question 12

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.

Question 14

What are some examples of species found within Phylum Ascomycota discussed in lecture?

Question 15

Question 17

Why does asexual reproduction and not sexual reproduction lead to rapid colonization?

Question 18

Which statement describes a method yeast can used to asexually reproduce?

Question 19
