You want to know how many mating types a specific fungal species has. In 250-500 words, design an experiment to address this question. Your approach should include both molecular and lab approaches ,and make sure you include a clear and detailed experimental design. You can include a figure if you'd like.

Room air is collected on a plate using a sampler that pulls 50 L per minute. If 11 fungal colonies grow after 4 minutes of sampling, what is the propagule forming count per L of air ? You do not need to use an MPN (Probability) table for this sampler. Round off your answer to one decimal place only Your Answer: Answer
What will you do on an exam or problem set regarding fungal genetics if the longest distance is smaller than the sum of the two shorter distances? Adjust the smallest distance to make the numbers add up adjust the larger distance down a bit and the smaller ones up a bit proportionate to their relative sizes Change the larger distance to equal the sum of the two smaller distances just leave it and acknowledge that science isn't perfect
Find the large nucleus located near the cell. Make several outline drawings to illustrate the successive changes of 1. shape of the amoeba. Make drawings of the Amoeba you observe, and label its structures. C O O liko mer 0 AS 6 0 O Paramecium -- Paramecia are quite large, straw-colored, slipper-shaped and move rapidly, and they are thus very noticeable. If there are Paramecia in your field of view you probably will recognize them immediately. Often, however, students do have difficulty both finding a Paramecium, and after they have found one, making it move slowly enough so they can study it at high magnification. The trick to finding a Paramecium is to scan the entire slide quickly using the scanning lens. Then, if you do not find one, make a new slide and search again. Often, Paramecia tend to move to the edges of the coverslip, and even "escape" the coverslip at its edges. The trick to slowing the Paramecia is to mix a drop of methyl cellulose with a drop of the cell culture, as…
In the space below, diagram generalized haplontic, diplontic, and alternation of generations life cycles. Make sure to indicate whether each stage in the life cycle is haploid or diploid, and unicellular or multicellular. Also write the stage's name (e.g., zygote, gametophyte, spore, etc.) if it has one. You don't need to draw the stages - e.g., for a zygote you can just write "zygote, unicellular, 2N". Also make sure to indicate where exactly in the life cycle meiosis takes place. Please draw and label these as possible clearly as Haplontic Diplontic Alternation of generations

How are fungal spores similar to plant spores? (Choose All That Apply) they are haploid they can be produced by mitosis they can be produced by meiosis they are composed of a single cell they are mulitcellular they are diploid
A student is using a Venn Diagram to communicate understanding of the similarities and differences between fungi and animals. The student placed key characteristics in each circle and classmates are asked to review the work. Qurdtion options: “You should remove ‘has a cell wall’ because neither fungi nor animals have a cell wall. “You need to move the term heterotroph to the ‘animals’ circle because fungi can be heterotrophic or autotrophic.” “You have all of the information correct.” “All animals only reproduce sexually so you need to move ‘may reproduce sexually or asexually ‘to fungi only.”
The Ascomycetes are the largest and most diverse group of fungi. They live in diverse habitats and even include unicellular species know as yeast. Below is a picture of yeasts cells using a SEM.

After a long excursion in the tropics you came back with multiple soil samples from different localities across the Andes. You are interested in discovering new sources of pharmaceuticals and want to test the antibiotic properties of fungi collected from tropical soils at different altitudes. How would you approach this question?. What scientific experiment would you conduct to isolate fungi with antibiotic characteristics?. Please be specific about your design, including your expected outcomes and conclusions from your experiment.
You have been asked to consult for a biotech company that is seeking to understand why some fungi can live in very extreme environments, such as the high temperatures inside naturally occurring hot springs. The company has isolated two different fungal species, F. cattoriae and W. gravinius, both of which can grow at temperatures exceeding 95°C. The company has determined the following things about these fungal species (see attached image) By sequencing and examining their genomes, the biotech company hopes to understand why these species can live in extreme environments. However, the company only has the resources to sequence one genome, and would like your input as to which species should be sequenced and whether you believe a shotgun strategy will work in this case.
