3.) What are 3 ways in which plant and fungal spores are similar and 3 ways they are different? What similarities might explain why spores evolved in these very different organisms? (6 pts) 4.) More than 90% of plants have mycorrhizal associations with fungi. How might this association have evolved (include mechanisms)? (7 pts) Describe 2 characteristics of fungi that are likely to have played a role in this association. (4 pts)
