To review:
The effect of different categories of light stimuli on fusion events for different mating pairs.
Introduction:
The
It thrives well in dark places, which suit well for its sexual reproduction whereas light inhibits the sexual reproduction process by affecting the development of the dikaryon stage. The wild-type BWC gene encodes for light-based inhibition of dikaryon formation. There are two mating types, denoted as α and a. The mutant bwc1 does not inhibit the development of dikaryon even in the presence of light.

- In secondary endosymbiosis, the plastid organelle is derived from engulfing Prokaryotic algal cell. an True Falsearrow_forwardAn infectious disease research group is studying a microbe that can cause infections and gastrointestinal disease in humans, and which can also survive and reproduce in hamsters. A dormant cyst form of the microbe infects human hosts through fecal-oral transmission if they come in contact with hamster droppings and don’t wash their hands before eating. The organism exhibits active, motile morphological forms at other stages of its life cycle. Sexual reproduction (fusion of haploid gametes) occurs in the hamsters; only asexual reproduction occurs in humans. It has a nucleus, but does NOT have a cell wall. This microbe could be which of the following? Protozoan Fungus Bacterium Virusarrow_forwardLabel A-H from image as the following: I: Dikaryotic II: Basidiospores III: Plasmogamy IV: Meiosis V: Diploid VI: Haploid VII: Karyogamy VIII: Zygotearrow_forward
- Fungi can propagate themselves successfully with their millions of asexual spores. That being the case,why is the production of sexual spores necessary?arrow_forwardA common feature of reproduction in Amoeba, spirogyra and yeast is that –a) Asexual reproduction occurs after sexual reproductionb) Asexual reproduction occurs before sexual reproductionc) Asexual reproduction does not involve gametesd) Asexual reproduction involves only one parentarrow_forwardIn a population of bread molds (zygomycetes), one individual inherits a mutation that prohibits it from engaging in plasmogamy with other individuals. This fungus will not be able to do which of the following two things; *** 'Bubble both that apply*** Note that both are required for credit. The fungus will not be able to reproduce sexually The fungus will not be able to create spores of any kind The fungus will not be able to digest any food The fungus will not fuse it's cytoplasm with another individualarrow_forward
- The prtists that causes malaria evolved from a photosynthetic ancestor and has the remnant of a chloroplast. The organelle no longer functions in photosynthesis, but it remains essential to the protist. Why might targeting this organelle yield an antimalarial drug that produces minimal side effects in humans?arrow_forwardThe life cycle of Funaria is called diplo-haplontic. Give reason.arrow_forwardThe Zygomycetes (bread molds) are a coenocytic fungus. This means that; Their hyphae lack crosswalls They only reproduce sexually They reproduce using conidia They have heterokaryotic hyphaearrow_forward
- When the Ascomycetes fungus reproduces sexually, mating type A fungi cross fertilize mating type a fungi. The resulting zygotes undergo meiotic and then mitotic division to produce asci with eight ascospores. The ascospores in the asci are ordered and reflect the position of the parental nuclei in the zygote. Use the passage to answer the question. How is the life cycle of Ascomycetes different from that of humans? A. Haploid cells undergo meiosis. B. Haploid cells undergo mitosis. C. Diploid cells undergo meiosis. D. Diploid cells undergo mitosis.arrow_forwardSome anti-fungal medications work by blocking DNA synthesis in the fungal cell. Describe where in the cell cycle such a medication would halt the fungal cell . and the consequences of this early termination of the cyclearrow_forwardA common feature of reproduction in Amoeba, spirogyra and yeast is that –a) They reproduce only sexuallyb) They are all unicellularc) they reproduce asexually d) They are all multicellulararrow_forward
