Concept explainers
(a)
To describe: The cells of the secondary mycelium of basidiomycetes given in the question.
Introduction: The life cycle of
(b)
To determine: The stage of the life cycle of the basidiomycete cells provided in the given figure.
Introduction: The life cycle of fungi has three different stages. The life cycle of fungi is the basis of classification of fungi. Each member of the group has similar life cycle stages. Formation of sexual spores is a distinct process involving the formation of spore-forming body in each of the group of fungi.
(c)
To draw: The diagram supporting the sequence of next events that take place in the life cycle of basidiomycetes.

Ascomycete hyphae have simple pores in their septa and lack clampconnections, whereas basidiomycete hyphae display complex septalpores and clamp connections.b. Ascomycetes produce sexual spores in sacs, whereasbasidiomycetes produce sexual spores on the surfaces of clubshaped structures.c. Ascomycetes are commonly found in lichens, whereasbasidiomycetes are less commonly partners in lichen associations.d. Ascomycetes are not commonly mycorrhizal partners, butbasidiomycetes are commonly present in mycorrhizal associations.e. All of the above are correct.arrow_forward
