23
Q
How do you fungi reproduce?
A

- asexual (mitosis, budding, and fragmentation)
24
Q
Arthrocondida (arthrospores)-
Condidiospores-
A
Fragmenting hyphae
Not contained in a sack, produced at tips or sides of the hyphae
25
Three phases of the sexual cycle in fungi
- plasmogamy- cytoplasmic fusion. Results with a cell with two nuclei (called a dikaryotic cell) two haploid nuclei, at this point mitosis may occur several times
- karyogamy- The two nuclei fuse. This produces a true diploid zygote,
- meiosis, to yield haploid spores to start the lifecycle again
26
-simple, free living, saprophytic or parasitic forms (responsible for large scale amphibian mortality)
-motile, flagellated zoospores that form cysts in a poor environment
-sexual and asexual reproduction
Alternatively, the diploid mycelium undergoes muses to form a haploid mycelium that produces motile gametes
Chytridiomycota
27
- saprophytes
- coenocytic hyphea with many haploid nuclei
- asexual 5Ariel dispersal) and sexual (produce hormones when environmental conditions are not favorable, causes hyphae to produce gametes that will eventually fuse forming the zygote
Zygomycetes
28
- includes (Rhizopus stolonifer) AKA black bread mold
- mucor
- industrial importance
- infections often develop in face and head area
Zygomycete
29
- critical ecological importance, they are the Symbiant seen with vascular plants
- aseptate hyphae with large multi nucleated spores
- only asexual reproduction (fragmentation of filaments)
Glomeromycota
30
