Concept explainers

Fungi

Fungi can be single-celled or complex multicellular creatures. They are found in pretty much any natural surroundings; however, they generally live on the land, principally in soil or plant material instead of in the ocean or water. Fungi are the members of the group called the decomposers that live off dead and decaying matters. Fungi assume a significant part in the carbon cycle and its different components. They act as a parasite by causing illnesses like rusts, scabs, or ulcers. In crops, contagious illnesses can prompt critical money-related misfortune for the rancher. An exceptionally modest number of growths cause illnesses in creatures. In people, these incorporate skin illnesses such as competitors' feet, ringworm, and thrush.

Figure 24.17 Which of the following statements is true? A basidium is the fruiting body of a mushroom-producing fungus, and it forms four basidiocarps. The result of the plasmogamy step is four basidiospores. Karyogamy results directly in the formation of mycelia. A basidiocarp is the fruiting body of a mushroom-producing fungus.
Fruiting bodies are absent in which of the given pairs of classes of fungi? Phycomycetes and Ascomycetes Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes Basidiomycetes and Deuteromycetes Phycomycetes and Deuteromycetes
True or false The fungal component of a lichen thallus is most often a basidiomycete. In eucarpic thallus, the entire thallus is composed mainly of sporangia. The tree fern, Cyathea is a eusporangiate fern. The trophophyll vegetative frond has the same morphology and function as the sporophyll frond. Tricolpate pollen morphology is a synapomorphy in all dicots. Hyphal tissue comprise the medulla layer of a lichen thallus. The Phylum Ascomycota is a monophyletic group. Homosporous condition in the sporophyte gives rise to bisexual gametophyte. The Phylum Basidiomycota is a paraphyletic group. In polycentric thalli, a single zoospore will give rise to several rhizoids. Heterothallic mycelia require two different, but compatible, mycelia to reproduce sexually. Having a single cotyledon is a synapomorphy shared by all monocots. The xylem vessel is considered an apomorphic feature in the monocots and eudicots. The nuclear fusion of the dikaryotic hyphae is termed as plasmogamy. In…
