You discover a new kind of fungus with large, square-shaped spores. What can you conclude about dispersal in this species?

Question 5 options:

The spores are composed of diploid cells

The spores likely get propelled through the air

The spores may require animals to disperse them

The spores likely swim through the wate

Solution

(Ans) ......The spores likely get propelled through the air.

There are several different mechanisms by which fungi release their spores into the air which then allows them to be dispersed by wind,other mechanisms that serve the same functions of initially ejecting the spores into the air so that they may be picked up by air currents.The ascospores are forcibly ejected through the top of the asci and are then carried away by wind.

Spores are initially ejected into the air is the mechanism used by certain puffballs,puffballs are also members of the Basidiomycota the basidium does not forcibly eject the basidiospores into the air to be carried away with the wind.
