Yeast

Question 15

Yeast dividing unevenly [E.g., Saccharomyces]

Answer 15

Budding yeast

Question 16

Yeast dividing evenly/symmetrically [E.g., Schizosaccharomyces]

Answer 16

Fission Yeast

Question 17

Exhibit Fungal Dimorphism—two forms of growth (Can grow either Mold or Yeast)

Answer 17

Dimorphic Fungi

Question 18

Dimorphism in pathogenic fungi is temperature-dependent:
-at 37°C, the fungus is [a], and
-at 25°C, it is [b]

Answer 18

[a] Yeastlike
[b] moldlike

Question 19

Dimorphism dependent on CO2 concentration.

Allow a bacterial cell to survive adverse environnemental

Answer 20

Bacterial endospore

Question 21

Forms a spore, that detaches from the parent and germinates into a new mold.

Answer 21

Fungal spore

Question 22

Formed by the hyphae of one organism. When these spores germinate, they become organisms that are genetically identical to the parent.

Answer 22

Asexual Spores

Question 23

Result from the fusion of nuclei from two opposite mating strains of the same species of fungus.

Answer 23

Sexual Spores

Conidiospores (Conidium)
-Arthroconidia
-Blastoconidia
-Chlamydoconidia

Sporangiospore (Sporangium)

Question 25

A unicellular or multicellular spore that is not enclosed in a sac; produced in a chain at the end of a conidiophore.

Answer 25

Conidiospores (Conidium)

Question 26

Example of Conidiospores

Answer 26
