Q

Reproduction of Fungi

A

1) fertilization (syngamy) occurs with fusion of cytoplasm from 2 different cell types (plasmogamy)
2) however, in many fungi mitotic cell divisions begin before nuclei fuse (karyogamy) creating a transition ploidy “n+n” or dikaryon/heterokaryon b/c 2 haploid nuclei are from different individuals
3) karyogamy occurs which allows meiosis to occur to produce genetically unique spores

Q

Reproduction of Phylum Zygomycota

A

1) mycelia have various mating types (-) or (+)
2) neighboring mycelia of different mating types form hyphal extensions (gametangia), each of which encloses several haploid nuclei
3) plasmogamy occurs, which creates a zygosporangium (heterokaryotic) that contains multiple haploid nuclei from the 2 parents
4) zygosporangium develops a rough, thick-walled coating that can resist harsh conditions for months
5) when conditions are favorable, karyogamy occurs, then meiosis
6) zygosporangium germinates into a sporangium on a short stalk
7) sporangium disperses genetically diverse haploid spores
8) spores germinate and grow into new mycelia
9) mycelia can also reproduce asexually by forming sporangia that produce genetically identical haploid spores (meaning they have undergone mitosis)

Q

Reproduction of Phylum Ascomycota

A

1) ascomycete mycelia can reproduce asexually by producing pigmented haploid spores (conidia)
2) neurospora can also reproduce sexually by producing specialized hyphae. conidia of the opposite mating type fuse to these hyphae
3) dikaryotic hyphae that result from plasmogamy produce many dikaryotic asci
4) karyogamy occurs within each ascus, producing diploid nucleus
5) each diploid nucleus divides by meiosis, yielding 4 haploid nuclei
6) each haploid nucleus divides once by mitosis, yielding 8 nuclei. cell walls and plasma membranes develop around the nuclei, forming ascospores (LM)
7) ascospores are discharges forcibly from the asci through an opening in the ascocarp. germinating ascospores give rise to the new mycelia

Q

Reproduction of Phylum Basidiomycota

A

1) two haploid mycelia of different mating types under plasmogamy
2) dikaryotic mycelium forms, growing faster than, and ultimately crowding out, the haploid parental mycelia
3) environmental cues such as rain or changes in temp induce the dikaryotic mycelium to form compact masses that develop into basidiocarps
4) basidiocarp gills are lined with terminal dikaryotic cells called basidia
5) karyogamy in each basidium produces a diploid nucleus which then undergoes meiosis
6) each diploid nucleus yields 4 haploid nuclei, each of which develops into a basidiospore
7) when mature, the basidiospores are ejected than disperses by wind
8) in a suitable environment, the basidiospores germinate and grow into short-lived haploid mycelia

Q

Alternation of Generations

A

-fertilization (syngamy) of 2 different gametes/cell types (plasmogamy)
-immediately (before mitotic cell divisions), creating diploid zygote

-these spores collectively produce the sporophyte
-haploid spores germinate and develop (via mitosis) into gametophytes which produce identical gametes via mitosis
-sporophyte and gametophyte alternate

33
Q

Fern Life Cycle

A

1) sporangia releases spores, most fern species produce a single type of spore that develops into bisexual photosynthetic gametophyte
2) each gametophyte develops sperm-producing organs called antheridia (male part) and egg-producing structures called archegonia (female part). although this diagram shows sperm fertilizing the egg from the same gametophyte, in most ferns gametophytes produce egg and sperm at different times, typically one egg fertilized by sperm from different gametophyte
3) sperm use flagella to swim to the eggs in archegonium, attractant secreted by archegonia help direct sperm
4) zygote develops new sporophyte and young plant grows out from an archegonium of its parents, the gametophyte
5) on the underside of the sporophyte, reproductive leaves are spots called sori, each sorus is a cluster of sporangia

57
Q

Pine Life Cycle

A

1) in most conifer species, each tree has both ovulate and pine cones
2) microsporocytes (in the pine cones) divide by meiosis, producing haploid microspores. a microspore develops into a pollen grain (a male gametophyte enclosed within a pollen wall)
3) ovulate cone scale has 2 ovules, each containing a megasporangium
4) pollination occurs when a pollen grain reaches the ovule. the pollen grain then germinates, forming a pollen tube that slowly digests its way through the megasporangium
5) while pollen tube develops, megasporocyte goes through meiosis and produces 4 haploid cells. one survives as a megaspore
6) megaspore develops into female gametophyte that has 2 or 3 archegonia, each of which form an egg
7) by time eggs are mature, sperms are developed in pollen tube, which extends to female gametophyte. fertilization occurs when sperm and egg unite
8) fertilization occurs more than a year after pollination. all eggs may be fertilized but usually one one zygote develops into an embryo. ovule becomes seed, consisting of embryo, food supply, and seed coat

58

A

-insects, birds, mammals
-flowers and pollinators coevolved

63
Q

Seed Dispersal

A

annuals and perennials

64
Q

Annuals

A

-parent plant may die in a year (temperate/cold environments)
-seed dispersal is less important as the current location should be suitable for seeds dropped by parent plant

65
Q

Perennials

A

parent plant lives multiple years. thus, seed dispersal needs are higher as seed don’t have places to grow where plants are located

66
Q

Fruits

A

“ripened ovary”-typically dispersed by animals

67
Q

Angiosperm Life Cycle

A

1) in the megasporangium of each ovule, the megasporocyte divides by meiosis, creating 4 megaspores. one survives and gives rise to the female gametophyte
2) in the anther of the stamen, each microsporangium contains microsporocytes that divide by meiosis, producing microspores
3) microspores develop into the pollen grains. the generative cell of gametophytes divide, forming 2 sperm, the tube cell becomes the pollen tube
4) after pollination, eventually 2 sperm cells are discharged in each ovule
5) double fertilization occurs, one sperm fertilizes the egg, forming the zygote, and one fertilizes the central cell forming the endosperm
6) zygote develops into the embryo that is packaged along with food in the seed
7) seed germinates, embryo develops into mature sporophyte
