Zygomycete bread molds such as Rhizopus stolonifer (black bread mold) produce sporangia in both sexual and asexual reproductive cycles. Which of the following do the sexual sporangia of Rhizopus stolonifer originate from (i.e. what does the sporangia grow out of)? Select one: O a. from the aseptate hyphae O b. from the zygosporangium O c. from the substrate O d. from the gametangia

In a majority of flowering plants, outof the four megaspores, what is the ratio of functional and degeneratemegaspores?A. 2:2 B. 1:3C. 3:1 D. 4:0
When the Ascomycetes fungus reproduces sexually, mating type A fungi cross fertilize mating type a fungi. The resulting zygotes undergo meiotic and then mitotic division to produce asci with eight ascospores. The ascospores in the asci are ordered and reflect the position of the parental nuclei in the zygote. Use the passage to answer the question. How is the life cycle of Ascomycetes different from that of humans? A. Haploid cells undergo meiosis. B. Haploid cells undergo mitosis. C. Diploid cells undergo meiosis. D. Diploid cells undergo mitosis.
Basidiomycota is a division of the Kingdom Fungi. They include groups such as mushrooms, and reproduce sexually through the formation of cells called basidia. Which of the following rows identifies Process 1 and Process 3 in the life cycle shown in the diagram? Select one: a. Process 1 Process 3 Meiosis Mitosis b. Process 1 Process 3 Mitosis Mitosis c. Process 1 Process 3 Meiosis Meiosis d. Process 1 Process 3 Mitosis Meiosis
Which of the following best describes Basidiomycota? A. The vast majority of spores formed are asexual. B. Spores line up in a sac in the order they were formed by meiosis. C. Monokaryotic hyphae fuse to grow into a heterokaryotic mycelium. D. No sexual stage has been found.
Slime molds are ususual in their lifestyles and apperance. You might have seen one and not even realized it. Dictyostelium discoideum is a slime mold used in research. In this species, individual amoeboid cells aggregate into multicellular mobile slugs, and each slug forms a fruiting body that produces haploid spores. What are these ameboid cells known as? A. sporangia B. plasmodium slime molds C. pseudohyphae D. cellular slime molds
What are the three stages of sexual reproduction that ascomycetes and basidiomycetes have in common? A. Fragmentation, budding, and spore production B. Meiosis, budding, and karyogamy C. Spore production, plasmogamy, and budding D. Plasmogamy, karyogamy, and meiosis
Individual amoebae (Dictyostelium discoideum) occasionally aggregate into a colony. About 20 percent of the amoebae in the colony make up a stalk that supports a ball composed of the remainder of the amoebae. The stalk-forming individuals die without reproducing, whereas the amoebae in the ball, or fruiting body, give rise to spores that can become new individuals after the spores are carried away from the colony by passing insects and the like. On occasion two genetically different strains of the amoeba cooperate in the formation of a stalked fruiting body. What evolutionary puzzle is posed by this observation? Use kin (indirect) selection theory to make a prediction about the genetic similarity of the strains that work together when forming a colony versus those that do not.

What is the ploidy of the most conspicuous form of most fungi? a. diploid b. haploid c. alternation of generations d. asexual
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?
Stinkhorn mushrooms embed their spores in a foul-smelling material that is attractive to flies. Explain why this occurs and where else this is observed (what is this referred to in other groups)?
The ascomycete life cycle typically includes (a) mainly diploid thalli (b) the formation of a thick zygosporangium (c) the production of eight haploid ascospores within an ascus (d) the production of microsporidia (e) the production of ascospores, zoospores, and conidia at different stages
How does the life cycle of a typical Red alga (Phylum Rhodophyta) differ from any other life histories covered in the course thus far? Don't forget to highlight these differences by comparing them to the basic types (i.e sporic, gametic, or zygotic meiosis)!
