Q

fusion of two gametes, one or both of which are motile

A

Planogametic copulation

81
Q

Three different types of planogametic copulation

A

Isogamy
Anisogamy
Oogamy/ Heterogamy

82
Q

morphologically similar but compatible type of gametes unite to fom a motile zygot e.g., Synchytrium

A

Isogamy

83
Q

Union of larger gamete with another smaller gamete. The resultant zygote is motile; the zygote resulting from isogamous or anisogamous planogametic copulation forms a ‘resting sporangium’; e.g., Blastocladiales

A

AnisogamyAnisogamy

84
Q

a non-motile female gamete (oosphere) is fertilized by a motile male gaete. This results in the formation of oospores, a resistant structure and resting spore; Oospores germinate and produce mycelium directly; e.g., Chytridiomycetes

A

Oogamy/ Heterogamy

85
Q

In this method the male gamete (antheridium) and the female gamete (oogonium) come in contact and one or more nuclei fom the male gamete enter the female gamete, oogonium dissolved in the intervening wall through a pore or through a fertilization tube

A

Gametangial contact

86
Q

This is a process of fusion of entire contents of the two mating gametangia

A

Gametangial copulation

87
Q

two types Gametangial copulation

A

Anisogametangial copulation
Isogamous copulation

88
Q

fusion between unequal gametangia. The zygote forms a resting sporangium e.g., Aquatic fungi (Chytridiomycetes)

A

Anisogametangial copulation

89
Q

two morphologically simillar gametangial hyphae come in contact, the wall at the point of contact dissolves and the contents mix in the cell thus formed; this results in the formation of zygospore e.g., Mucor, Rhizopus, Phycomyces

A

Isogamous copulation

90
Q
