CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-hypha
|
You encounter a species of fungi you do not immediately recognize. If
| | | | | | | | | | | |
you were to attempt to sexually cross this fungus with another known
| | | | | | | | | | | |
fungus to determine its species, you would be using this concept to
| | | | | | | | | | | |
identify it: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-biological species concept
| | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | |
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-chitin
|
A hymenium is - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-a specialized tissue from which
| | | | | | | | | |
asci are produced
| |
A mass of many hyphae is called - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-mycelium
| | | | | | | | |
,What structure of Chytids produce spores within - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-sporangium
The fungus, Bd, is the casual agent of amphibian decline. This fungus
| | | | | | | | | | | |
produces - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-flagellate zoospores
| | | |
Coenocytic hyphae does: | |
- possess simple septa
| | |
-have woronin bodies
| | |
-produce asci | |
-none of the above - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-none of the above
| | | | | | | | |
Which of these does not produce spores in a sporangium? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Ascomycota
If you were to see an unknown fungus under a microscope and see a
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
hyphae and simple septa, you would have evidence that this fungus is a:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
|- CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Ascomycete
| |
Which of these does not produce spores in the sporangium - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Ascomycota
Which of these is a Zygomycete - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Pilobolus
| | | | | | | |
, A homothallic fungus can - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-has both + and -
| | | | | | | | | | |
mating type genes | |
True or False: Pilobolus is a chytrid that produces sporangia at the apex
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
of a transparent sporangiophore. The sporangiophore is capable of
| | | | | | | | |
orienting itself via thigmotropism to eject its sporangia towards blades
| | | | | | | | | |
of grass. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-More than one statement is untrue.
| | | | | | | | |
Which is the process by which spores are differentiated within sporangia
| | | | | | | | | |
- CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-cytoplasmic cleavage
| | | |
What group of fungi are known as the "sac fungi"? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Ascomycota
How many species of fungi did Hawksworth infer exist in the world? -
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-1,500,000 |
Zygomycetes produce asexual spores known as: - CORRECT | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-sporangiospores
Members of Ascomycota are fungi that produce asexual conidia and
| | | | | | | | | |
sexual spores within a sac-like structure called sporangium. Choose best
| | | | | | | | | |
