BESC 204 Final Questions and Answers
Q: The long "thread-like" tubular structures that is the basic cellular unit
of filamentous fungi
✓✓ Hypha
Q: A swelling on a germ tube or hypha (typically of plant pathogenic
fungi) that adheres to the surface of the host, and facilitates subsequent
penetration of the host
✓✓ Appresorium
Q: Flagellate, motile spores
✓✓ Zoospores
Q: The characteristic mode of growth of filamentous fungi in which all
new growth occurs only at the advancing cell tip
✓✓ Polarized Growth
Q: This is the concept that 2 organisms that look alike must be the same
species
✓✓ Morphologic Species
Q: This is the concept that 2 organisms that share DNA sequences must
be the same species
✓✓ Phylogenic Species
,Q: Short, backwardly directed branches on hyphae of dikaryotic
Basidiomycota. These provide a bypass for one of the dikaryotic nuclei
produced during conjugate nuclear division. This structure assures
maintenance of the dikaryon in the hyphae
✓✓ Clamp Connection
Q: This is the fertile tissue specilizaed for production of the sexual spores
in the "higher fungi"
✓✓ Hymenium
Q: This hooked cell is the site where the dikaryon is produced in the
Ascomycota, and it is progenitor of the ascus
✓✓ Crozier
Q: Describes multi-nucleate hyphae lacking cross walls
✓✓ Coenocytic
Q: Collective term for hyphae. The vegetative thallus of a fungus,
excluding fruiting structures
✓✓ Mycelium
Q: Definition of a fungus
✓✓ A EUKARYOTIC, HETEROTROPHIC organism; devoid of
chlorophyll; with chitin is cell walls; that obtains its nutrients by
ABSROPTION, and usually reproduces by making spores.
Q: This is a specialized organelle made by Ascomycota whose function is
to block septa during damage
, ✓✓ Worin Body
Q: Who is the author of your textbook, Magical Mushrooms, Mischievious
Molds
✓✓ Hudler
Q: Hawksworth estimated that there are this many fungal species in the
world
✓✓ 500,000
Q: The name of the fungus that is thought to be the largest fungal species
in the world
✓✓ Armillaria
Q: The following are examples of sexual (meiotic) spores produced by
fungi
✓✓ Zygospores
Q: The asexual spores produced by the Ascomycota are called
✓✓ Conidia
Q: The singular form of conidia is
✓✓ Conidium
Q: This is the term that describes the fusion of 2 sexually compatible
nuclei prior to meiosis
✓✓ Karyogamy
