  cross-walls

(FORMERLY ASEPTATE)

Question 9

Chain of cells formed by budding that resemble true hyphae.

Answer 9

PSEUDOHYPHAE

Question 10

Differ from true hyphae in that they are constricted at the septa, form branches that
begin with septation, and have terminal cells smaller than other cells.

Answer 10

PSEUDOHYPHAE
