8. You discover a fungus that makes mainly asexual spores, but that occasionally makes sexual spores. When produced, the sexual spores come out of a thickened, hardened structure. A close examination of hyphae of this fungus reveals no septa. Into which group should you classify this fungus? a. Zygomycota b. Ascomycota c. Basidiomycota d. Glomeromycota e. Chytridiomycota 9. Trait(s) common to all fungi is/are: a. parasitism. b. reproduction via spores. c. septate hyphae. d. a dikaryotic phase inside a zygospore. e. plasmogamy after an antheridium and ascogonium come into. 10. Most chytrids are: a. parasites of animals b. aquatic c. saprobes in soil d. symbiotic partners of cattle and other herbivores e. parasites of plants 11. Most of the cells in a mushroom cap are: a. Dikaryotic b. Diploid c. undergoing meiosis d. none of the other possible answers e. basidia

Match major group of fungi with its description of unique characteristics. Have flagellated spores called zoospores Basidiomycete Reproduce asexually by enormous numbers of asexual spores called conidia, which are produced at the tips of specialized hyphae called conidiophores Ascomycetes Chytrids Zygomycetes Named for their sexually produced resistant spore-like structure where karyogamy takes place Life cycle usually includes long-lived dikaryotic mycelium that can reproduce sexually by producing fruiting bodies called basidiocarps

Match the following terms listed below: This type of sexual reproduction is dominated by the haploid stage Sacs that develop from the union or two hyphae Considered "higher" fungus with zygotic meiosis The only form of fungi that have flagellated gametes Mass of hyphae A type of cup fungus The product of Rhizopus sexual reproduction The facultative partner in lichen This type of sexual reproduction is half diploid and half haploid Produce mushroom spores
