Chapter 29.3, Problem 3C
Summary Introduction
To illustrate: The difference between the life cycle of a typical basidiomycete and a typical ascomycete with the help of a diagram.
Introduction: Fungi are classified under five main groups: chytridiomycetes, zygomycetes, glomeromycetes, ascomycetes, and basidiomycetes. Each group is considered as a separate phyla. All these groups differ in their characters and life cycle. Some of them reproduce sexually while others reproduce only asexually. The earliest fungal ancestors are Chytrids and they all share common ancestry, which is flagellated protists.
