Please answer question 2 1. If being diploid increases an individual's genetic diversity, why does your group think that most fungi spend the majority of their life cycle as a haploidindividual? Also, why does your group think fungi have a heterokaryotic stage? Why don't fungi produce a diploid condition immediately followingplasmogamy?2. The fungal-algal symbiosis producing lichens is thought to have evolved several times independently in different fungal groups. However, lichens fallinto three well-defined growth forms - crustose, foliose, and fruticose. Do you think the growth forms represent monophyletic or polyphyleticgroups? Explain why you thỉnk so.

In this question, we have to show the growth form of lichens.

Tue or False: Most fungi secondarily lack flagellated cells in their life history and this places the monophyly of the supergroup to which they belong, in doubt, as these extant fungi no longer have the synapomorphy of the supergroup

You have been asked to consult for a biotech company that is seeking to understand why some fungi can live in very extreme environments, such as the high temperatures inside naturally occurring hot springs. The company has isolated two different fungal species, F. cattoriae and W. gravinius, both of which can grow at temperatures exceeding 95°C. The company has determined the following things about these fungal species (see attached image) By sequencing and examining their genomes, the biotech company hopes to understand why these species can live in extreme environments. However, the company only has the resources to sequence one genome, and would like your input as to which species should be sequenced and whether you believe a shotgun strategy will work in this case.
Please answer all the question 1.Unlike some other haploid fungi, S. fimicola is homothallic. It produces perithecia from intrastrain mating, which have identical parents. How do you think this effect will show up in your data? more crossing over asci of uniform color asci with equally divided colors only black asci 2.S. fimicola is a haploid species with both the mature cells and the spores having only single chromosomes (seven total). Diploid cells only exist temporarily during reproduction. What proportions of offspring do you expect from black and tan parents? a. 100% black b. 75% black and 25% tan c. 50% black and 50% tan d. 100% tan 3.Gray and tan color in S. fimicola are caused by mutations of different genes. If neither is mutated, black spores result. What color do you think will result if both are mutated? tan B. gray C. black D. no color 4.During reproduction, one…
2. Why were fungi originally placed in the same Kingdom as plants? Give two reasons fungi are very different from plants.
Figure 24.17 Which of the following statements is true? A basidium is the fruiting body of a mushroom-producing fungus, and it forms four basidiocarps. The result of the plasmogamy step is four basidiospores. Karyogamy results directly in the formation of mycelia. A basidiocarp is the fruiting body of a mushroom-producing fungus.
As noted in Section 46.7, mycorrhizal fungi help prevent carbon in the soil from escaping into the atmosphere. These fungi also benefit a host plant by providing it with a share of the phosphorus and nitrogen that their hyphae take up from soil. Most crop plants are capable of forming a relationship with mycorrhizal fungi, if any are present in the soil. Some people have suggested that inoculating soil with fungal spores could help reduce the use of industrially produced fertilizer. What are some potential advantages of using fungi, rather than chemical fertilizers, to enhance plant growth?
During sexual reproduction, a homothallic mycelium contains all septated hyphae all haploid nuclei both mating types none of the above
The most primitive phylum of fungi is the ___________ . Chytridiomycota Zygomycota Glomeromycota Ascomycota
Some fungi can be viewed as coenocytic organisms that exhibit little differentiation. When differentiation does occur, such as in the formation of reproductive structures, it is preceded by septum formation. Why does this occur?
