Deuteromycetes
26
If the sexual phase of fungi is identified, it will be moved into different class and moved out of Deuteromycetes. True or false
True
27
Lower fungi, with broad and nonseptate hyphae
Zygomycetes
28
What is the Asexual spores of Zygomycetes? It is present within a swollen sac-like structure called?
Sporangiopores, sporangium
29
Resting thick walled cells in between hyphae
Zygospores
30
Species with zygospores
Mucor, Absidia, and Rhizopus
31
Have narrow and septate hyphae, it includes both yeast and filamentous fungi
Ascomycetes
32
What is the Asexual spores of Ascomycetes, and where it is borne on?
Conidia, conidiophore
33
Sexual spores of Ascomycetes, and where they are present
Ascospore, ascus
34
Several asci can be seen on a fruiting bodies as seen in
Aspergillus and Penicillium
35
Each ascus can contain what number of ascospores?
4 to 8
36
It has sexual spores called Basidiospores
Basidiomycetes
37
As a result of sexual fusion, a club shaped organ is formed that is called
Base or Basidium
38
Vegetative structures of Fungi
Arthrospores, and Chlamydospores
39
Arthrospores is formed by
Segmentation and condensation of Hyphae
40
Thick walled resting spores
Chlamydospores
41
The sexual reproduction of fungi is by formation of
Zygospores, ascospores and basidiospores
42
Asexual reproduction of fungi
Budding of Fission Spores (conidia) formation on a specialized structure
43
Spores vary in size, shape, and color and these characteristics are not constant for a particular species. True or false
False - constant
44
Small, single celled
Micro-conidia
45
Large, single or many celled
Macro-conidia
46
Two types of superficial mycoses
Cutaneous and Surface
47
It can only affect the skin, hair and nails. It is mild but chronic
Superficial mycoses
48
Two types of Deep mycoses
Subcutaneous and Systemic mycoses
49
The infection is accidental and caused by saprophytes
Deep mycoses
50
Superficial/Surface mycoses live exclusively on dead surfaces of skin and its appendeges. No contact with living tissues this no inflammatory response. True or false
True
51
They live on skin, hair, and nails and needs keratin to grow
Detmatophytes
52
Three genera of Dermatophytes
Trichophyton, Microsporum, and Epidermophyton
53
Subcutaneous mycoses

54
Systemic mycoses examples
Cryptococcoses Blastomycosis Paracoccidiomycoses Coccidioidomycoses Histoplasmoses
55
Caused by Candida sps, forms bridge between superficial and deep mycoses as it can cause cutaneous and systemic infections
