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.
Chitin cell walls, absorptive and chemoheterotrophic metabolism, and a fleshy thallus (body) with a large cap (eg: mushrooom) -- that produces sexual spores atop a "pedestal" or "Club-like" structure after plasmogomy and karyogamy -- are members of Division
a. Phaeophyta
b. Rhodophyta
c. Basidiomycota
d. Oomycota
e. Ascomycota
f. Zygomycota
What morphological feature unites the Basidiomycota,and where is this feature found?

- For each of the four groups of perfect fungi (Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota), compare the body structure and features, and provide an example.arrow_forwardA biologist is trying to classify an organism on the basis of the fact that they undergo sexual reproduction resulting through the formation of a sporangia that is protected by a thick coating. If you were asked for advice, to which group would you assign this new species? Glomeromycota Zygomycota Deuteromycota Basidiomycota Ascomycotaarrow_forwardDifferentiate between the Ascomycota and the Basidiomycota in terms of the cells that produce spores and the spores produced. Differentiate between a cleistothecium, apothecium, and perithecium/pseudothecium. Differentiate among the main groups for basidiomycetes in the Friesian system: the Agaricaceae, Boletaceae, Cantharellaceae, Hydnaceae, Clavariaceae, Thelephoraceae, Polyporaceae, Gasteromycetes, and Jelly fungi.Identify members of the categories in Matchmaker: Gilled, Boletes, Polypores, Toothed, Veined, Morels etc., Cups, Bird's Nest, Corals Clubs, Jelly Fungi, Crusts, Puffballs, Truffles, and Other.arrow_forward
- Using specific examples, distinguish between the life cycles and reproductive structures of the 3 major fungal divisions: Basidomycota, Ascomycota, and Zygomycota.arrow_forwardIn a culture of hyphae of unknown origin, you notice that the hyphae lack septa and that the fungi reproduce asexually by using clumps of erect stalks. However, at times sexual reproduction can be observed. To what group of fungi would you assign it?a. Chytridiomycotab. Basidiomycotac. Ascomycotad. Zygomycotaarrow_forwardWhich taxon is classified with the presence of club shaped structures that contain the reproductive spores? Group of answer choices zygomycota basidiomycota glomeromycota ascomycotaarrow_forward
- For Ascomycota, what structure's function is most similar to the function of a mushroom? a.) Ascus b.) Ascocarp c.) Antheridium d.) Archegonium e.) Ascosporearrow_forwardDescribe the life cycle of a member of the Basidiomycota including the following terms/structures: basidiocarp, basidiospore, basidium, clamp connection, dikaryotic, diploid, haploid, karyogamy, meiosis, monokaryotic, plasmogamy, primary mycelium, secondary mycelium, tertiary mycelium. Differentiate between homothallism and heterothallism. Differentiate between unifactorial (bipolar) and bifactorial (tetrapolar) heterothallism.arrow_forwardMatch the statement with the terms -members of this phylum can produce spores through two kinds of sporangia, one of which is known as a conidium. -this phylum contains organisms that most closely resemble the common ancestor of fungi -a member of this phylum includes the mold Rhizopus stolonifer -reproduces only sexually Terms- -Zygommycota -Chytridiomycota -Glomermycota -Basidiomycota -Ascomycotaarrow_forward
- The ascomycetes produce fruiting bodies like apothecium,perithecium,cleistothecium.what are the difference between these fruit bodies?arrow_forwardFind a image of life cycle of Zygomycota and Ascomycota: The image of Life Cycle must have: • Asexual loop • Hyphae/mycelia • Mitosis • Spores • Sexual loop • Structures • Haploid mycelia/hyphae • Dikaryotic mycelia/hyphae • Ascus, basidium, or zygosporangium • spores • Processes • Plasmogamy • Karyogamy - Meiosis • Mitosisarrow_forwardWhat is the difference between primary and secondary hyphae found in the ascomycetes and basidiomycetes? What is the ploidy of the hyphae that make up an ascocarp or basidiocarp?arrow_forward
