B

In fungi, haploid hyphae fuse to produce dikaryotic and then diploid nuclei, only to restore the haploid condition by meiosis before the growth of new hyphar. What is the significance of a transient diploid state and fungi? A) All organisms must reproduces sexually at some point in their life cycle. B) These sexual processes generate genetic variation. C) The diploid state is more advanced than the haploid state.

B, C

Which statement(s) correctly describe(s) The interactions between plants and fungi? Select all that apply. A) Plants compete with fungi for access to soil nutrients. B) Plants depend on fungi as mutualistic symbionts. C) Plants are harmed by fungal pathogens.

B, C

Which of the following ecological roles is/are played by at least some fungi? Select all that apply. A) Autotrophy B) Predation C) Decomposition

B, C

Select the correct statement(s) about fungal life cycles. A) Meiosis produces gametes in fungi. B) In some fungi, plasmogamy preceds karyogamy by decades. C) Fungi reproduce sexually but do not have male or female genders.

C

Select the correct statement(s) about the origin of fungi. A) Fungi involved after the first plants colonized land. B) Fungi are more closely related to plants than to animals. C) Multicellularity probably arose independently and fungi and animals.

E

The adaptive advantage associated with the filamentous nature of fungal mycelia is primarily related to A) The increased probability of contact between different mating types. B) Avoiding sexual reproduction until the environment changes. C) The potential to inhabit almost all terrestrial habitats. D) The ability to form haustoria and parasitize other organisms. E) An extensive surface area well suited for invasive growth and absorptive nutrition.

D

Which of the following is a difference between plants and fungi? A) Fungi have cell walls. B) Plants have diploid and haploid phases, and fungi have only haploid stages. C) Fungi are strictly asexual, and plants undergo sexual reproduction. D) Fungi or heterotrophic, and plants are autotrophic. E) Plants produce spores.

A

Fungi obtain nutrients through ______. A) Absorption B) Chemosynthesis C) Ingestion D) Endocytosis E) Photosynthesis

A

What sexual processes and fungi generate genetic variation? A) Budding and meiosis B) Karyogamy and meiosis C) Diploidy and the heterokaryotic condition D) Plasmogamy and meiosis E) Haustoria and karyogamy

D

An important example of interaction between fungi and certain other organisms is mycorrhizae, in which the fungal partners ______. A) Sicken herbivores fact attempt to feed on plants B) Control soil nematodes C) Cause the decay of cellulose and lignin D) Help plants take up nutrients and water E) Provide carbohydrates to the plant partner
