Unicellular Fungi structures and reproduction Correct Ans-Budding yeast - "true yeast" are
classified in the order Saccharomycetales, within the phylum Ascomycota. A small bud (also
known as a bleb or daughter cell) is formed on the parent cell. The nucleus of the parent cell
splits into a daughter nucleus and migrates to the daughter cell. The bud continues to grow
until it separates from the parent cell, forming a new cell. (The daughter cell produced during
the budding process is generally smaller than the mother cell.
Fission yeast - instead of budding, these yeast reproduce by fission, which results in the
creation of two identically sized daughter cells.
Multicellular fungi life cycle and reproduction Correct Ans-1.) Fragmentation of hyphae
2.) Sexual and asexual spore formation (teleomorphs do both, anamorphs only do asexual)
Asexual spore types in fungi Correct Ans-Conidiospore: (conidium) 1 or more spores not
enclosed in a sac.
Conidia: spores in chain at end of reproductive structure.
Arthroconidia: fragmented septate hypha.

Blastoconidia: buds from a parent cell.
Chlamydoconidia: rounded, enlarged segment within a hypha.
Sporangiospore: sac of spores formed at the end of a hyphae.
Sexual reproduction in fungi Correct Ans-Plasmogamy: haploid nucleus of donor enters
recipient cell.
Karyogamy: the two nuclei fuse to form diploid zygote.
Meiosis: new nucleus gives rise to new haploid sexual spores.
Zygomycetes Correct Ans-Asexual reproduction
1.) Aerial hypha produces a sporangium.
2.) Sporangium bursts to release spores.
3.) Spore germinates to produce hyphae.

4.) Vegetative mycellum grows.
Sexual reproduction
5.) Gamete forms at tip of hypha.
6.) Plasmogamy.
7.) Zygospore forms.
8.) Karyogamy and meiosis.
9.) Zygote produces a sporangium.
10.) Spores are released from sporangium.
11.) Spore germinates to produce hyphae.
Most of the time, asexual reproduction occurs.
Viral host range Correct Ans-Types of cells within a host species which can be infected by
the virus
Determined by attachment (susceptible) and cellular components necessary for viral
replication processes (permissive).
Bacteriophage multiplication: Correct Ans-1.) Attachment - phage attaches to host cell.

2.) Penetration - phage penetrates host cell and injects its DNA.
3.) Biosynthesis - phage DNA directs synthesis of viral components by the host cell.
4.) Maturation - viral components are assembled into virions
5.) Release - host cell lyses and new virions are released.
Animal viruses Correct Ans-Variations on the same 5 basic viral multiplication steps based
on:
Genetic material
Surface structures
Enzymes of virus and/or host cell
DNA animal virus Correct Ans-1.) Virion attaches to host cell.
2.) Virion enters cell, and its DNA is uncoated
3.) A portion of viral DNA is transcribed, producing mRNA that encodes "early" viral proteins.
4.) Viral DNA is replicated, and some viral proteins are made.
5.) Late translation; capsid proteins are synthesized.
6.) Virions mature.
7.) Virions released.
