Question 2:

Some phyla of fungi produce two types of spores: sexual spores and asexual spores. Which are TRUE statements about these different spores below.

Sexual spores are genetically identical to the fungal parent that produced them.

Asexual spores will be dispersed from the parent and will germinate to form a new mycelium.

Sexual spores are the products of meiosis, after gametes have fused to form a diploid nucleus.

Sexual spores are more commonly known as “gametes”.

Asexual spores are produced strictly through mitosis.

Asexual spores are genetically identical to the fungal parent that produced them.

The sexual spores produced by a fungus will have different combinations of alleles from the parent fungi.

Sexual spores fuse to form a diploid cell or diploid nucleus.

Sexual spores will be dispersed from the parent and germinate to form a new mycelium.

Sexual spores are produced after two, genetically different hyphae come together, and plasmogamy, karyogamy, and meiosis take place.
