- Fungi tend to reproduce sexually when nutrients are limited or other conditions are unfavorable, but they reproduce asexually in more ideal conditions. Why is this strategy successful?If you were to examine the Cordyceps fungal structures emerging from the dead insects under the microscope what would you see? Ascospores produced via sexual reproduction Conidia produced via sexual reproduction Zygospores produced via sexual reproduction Arbuscules produced via asexual reproductionWhich of the following characteristics is responsible for making HAV resistant to harsh environments? The nucleic acid genome is protected by the cellular membrane The presence of a cell envelope (Lipid layer) covering the nucleocapsid The presence of peptidoglycan in the cell wall of the virus protecting the nucleic acid genome Protection of the nucleic acid genome by capsid proteins (without a cell envelope) All the answers are true
- In the pictures below, identify the arrowed reproductive structures of microscopic cyanobacteria based on the following descriptions: Akinetes are dormant structures larger than the vegetative cells, are rich in food reserves, and have thick walls. Most filamentous cyanobacteria develop akinetes in adverse conditions (e.g., winter, dry periods). When favorable conditions return, they germinate and produce new filaments. Hormogonia are short pieces of filaments consisting of 5–15 trichomes that fragment and develop into new filaments. Heterocytes (or heterocysts) are multicellular structures that have a thick and massive sheath, formed by members of the Nostocales. It is the location of the enzyme nitrogenase for nitrogen fixation, the conversion of nitrogen gas into ammonium and then amino acids. They may be intercalary or terminal in position and may germinate from either end or both the ends to give rise to new filaments. Non-filamentous cyanobacteria generally produce spores…Fungi tend to reproduce sexually when nutrients are limited or other conditions are unfavorable, but they reproduce asexually in more ideal conditions.

- Fungi tend to reproduce sexually when nutrients are limited or other conditions are unfavorable, but they reproduce asexually in more ideal conditions. Why is this strategy successful? Need referenceIf the spores of a fungus are haploid and divide to form the hyphae by mitosis, then what are the cells of the hyphae (haploid, diploid, tripled) ?list 3 differences in structure in bacterial and fungal cells. how do fungal spores differ from bacterial endospores?
- Some fungi exhibit dimorphism, i.e. they can exist in both yeast and mold form. Why is this so? What advantage does this provide for these organisms?After plasmogamy has occurred, many molds (Mucoromycetes) exist in a heterokaryotic stage for up to centuries at a time. What occurs at the immediate end of this stage? The nuclei fuse in a process called karyogamy. The hyphae fuse in a process called karyogamy. Diploid spores are produced in various spore-producing structures. A haploid zygote is formed that becomes multicellular through repeated rounds of mitosis.Both bacteria and fungi are major environmental decomposers. Obviously competition exists in any given environment, but fungi usually have an advantage. What characteristics specific to fungi provide this advantage?
