Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Asexual reproduction is a method of producing offspring through a single organism. It does not involve gamete fusion. Offspring is the exact copy of parents even no change occur in chromosomes. Asexual reproduction occurs mainly in plants and some animals like cats, sea stars, etc.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following descriptions does not apply to a multicellular
fungus?
the mushroom is a transient structure that produces spores and dies back
the mycelium represents the dominant life stage
spores can be produced as a part of sexual or asexual reproduction
the fruiting body is composed of only diploid cells
different individuals can have different mating types
How are fungal spores similar to plant spores? (Choose All That Apply)
they are haploid
they can be produced by mitosis
they can be produced by meiosis
they are composed of a single cell
they are mulitcellular
they are diploid
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?

- 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.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_forwardWhy is drug discovery and design for treatment of fungi more difficult than that for bacteria? fungi are eukaryotic fungi do not contain cell walls fungi are heterotrophic fungi are multicellulararrow_forward
