Choose the fungal phylum most closely associated with each of the following term be used once, more than once, or not at all. a. Glomeromycota b. Basidiomycota c. Chytridiomycota d. Zygomycota e. Ascomycota Saccharomyces cerevisiae ___ motile spores ___ microsporidia ___ Ectomycorrhizae ___ Basidiocarp __ Rhizopus stolonifer ___ Ascocar ___ aseptate hyphae ___ Endomycorrhizae ___ List and describe the three genetic stages common in the Fungi.

Solution

1. Ascomycota

2. Chytridiomycota

3. None. It belongs to Microspora

4. Basidiomycota mostly.

5. Basidiomycota

6. Zygomycota

7. Ascomycota

8. Zygomycota, glomeromycota

9. Glomeromycota

Three genetic stages

Plasmogamy - fusion of cytoplasm leading to formation of heterokaryotes. That is one cell and 2 nuclei.

Mahogany - fusion of 2 nuclei. It results in diploid zygote.

Meiosis - conversion of diploid zygote to haploid spores.

These spores germinate to produce myelin.
