Fungal Reproduction

Question 1

Define anamorphically and teleomorphically

Accepted Answer

anamorphically- asexual reproductionteleomorphically- sexual reproduction

Question 2

For teleomorphically explain what somatogamy is

Accepted Answer

teleomorphicallysomatogamy; put different nuclei in contact with each other there is nuclear fusionstart off this pheromonesShmoo formation they come together and the nuclei fused together and you get a karynogamy =2n is down a diploid

Question 3

Explain the teleomorphic lifestyle of ascomycete

Accepted Answer

teleomorphic lifestyle of ascomycetewhen they meet the fuse around themselves and through mitosis they will produce haploid cells

Question 4

What is the main advantages of teleomorphic reproduction

Accepted Answer

list the advantages of teleomorphic reproduction (sexually reproduction) genetic diversity

Question 5

Explain the characteristics of anamorphical reproduction and how they produce

Accepted Answer

anamorphical reproductionmost are haploid apart from yeast (using budding for reproduction)how do they reproduction-in a sac known as sporangium=spore-external on a conidiophore=conidium-by fragmentation of a specialised hyphus

Question 6

Explain the life cycle of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

Accepted Answer

life cycle of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
thallus of buds with developing zoosporangia-> once zoosporangia mature the motile ones ill to released into the water-> they then swim chemotactically to skin

Question 7

Why does Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis kill frogs

Accepted Answer

Why does Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis kill frogs
because it effects the skin and frogs use their skin to breath and this pathogen will make the skin thick stopping gas exchange and this leads to dehydration and death

Question 8

List the different techniques used to identify fungi

Accepted Answer

suspect infection; look at lesionscytology; use fine needle aspirate, look at the fluidfungal culture; antibacterials will reduce the growth of the contaminate bacteriaphenotypic tests; does for yeastDNA sequencing; used to id fungus to species levelMALDITOF; mass spectrophotometryserological and ag detection test; detect ab or ag present in the sample which is from the target fungi

Question 9

What is Chytridiomycota; and list a fungi in this group

Accepted Answer

Chytridiomycota is a taxonomic group for fungi;aquatic fungi which is produced by zoosporesBatrachochytrium dendrobatidis is in this group

Question 10

For mucormycotina list definitioncharacteristicswhat it causeshow it sexually reproduces

Accepted Answer

mucormycotina its a fungal taxonmic group
usually saprophytic
causes vasculitis of the fore stomach secondary to subclinical acidosis in ruminates (cause by grain overload)
if there is damage in the rumen it will allow the fungi to enter the blood stream where they circle to placenta and causes death of the foetus
can reproduce by teleomorphic phase and anamorphic phase
if the reproduce sexually by the fusion of the conjugation of 2 hyphae this from gametangia ethic matures into zygosporangium (zygospore)
septa in hyphae

Question 11

For Zoopagomycota list the definitioncharacteristicswhat is causesthe growth

Accepted Answer

Zoopagomycotataxonomic group of fungi and its parasiticthere is no septa in hyphaein division this can cause sc granulomas in animalscauses a disease in the tropics like Townsvillesingle asexual spores are formed on the tip of hyphae and are explosively discharged, the spores form a colon around the primary colonies as the colony ages thick zygospores and dark chlamydospores are produced.
