Reproduction in fungi includes sexual as well as asexual methods of reproduction. Along with this there are vegetative methods of reproduction. Sexual reproduction involves fusion of two gametes. It is…
There are two genetically different mates which are involved in Heterothallism. Blakeslee discovered it in 1903. He stated that only some species can perform sexual reproduction from just a single…
Vegetative reproduction involves fragmentation, fission, budding and sclerotia. In fragmentation mycelia break into different parts by injury or decay. Budding involves yeast. The main cell produces a protrusion which grows…
The different variety of spores present in kingdom fungi are zoospores, sporangiospores, chlamydospores, oidia, conidia, ascospores, basidiospores and bi nucleate spores. Zoospores occur in phycomycetes and are mobile. The spores…
They are classified on the basis of number of factors. Few of these are 1. Morphology of fungus 2. Types of spores 3. Life cycle 4. Physiology 5. Biochemistry
These are lower group of fungi. They are without septate and have coenocytic hyphae. A both sexual and asexual form of reproduction occurs. Asexual reproduction occurs by zoospores and aplanospores.…
Rhizopus occurs on stale bread in warm and moist season. It is saprobic and has affinity for carbohydrate rich organic food. The mycelium has different types of hyphae which are…
Asexual reproduction occurs by sporangiospores, chlamydospores and oidia. These all are mitospores. Sporangiospores are developed under favorable conditions. Around 2 to 5 sporangiophores develop from holdfast. The tip of spoarangiophore…
Ascomycetes are also known as sac fungi. It includes pigment containing moulds, yeasts, morels etc. They are saprobic and act as a decomposer. Hyphae are septate except in yeast where…
Yeasts are without mycelium ascomycetes. In this asci are not organized in ascocarps. They reproduce asexually by budding, fission and combination of both. They are classified according to these criteria.…
