Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Fungi are the heterotrophic eukaryotes that digest food externally and absorb the nutrients from their cell wall. They reproduce through spores. They can either be haploid or diploid depending upon the stages of their life cycle as well as on the species.

Which of the following is NOT an example of a fungal spore?
A. Zoospores
B. Condia
C. Endospore
D. Basidiospores
identify the following:1. The sexual fruiting body in the genus Coprinus.2. The specific layer of the lichen body or thallus that is photosynthetic in function.3. A club shaped structure that directly produce haploid spores in the Coprinus sp.
How can ascomycetes be distinguished from basidiomycetes?a. Ascomycete hyphae have simple pores in their septa and lack clampconnections, whereas basidiomycete hyphae display complex septalpores and clamp connections.b. Ascomycetes produce sexual spores in sacs, whereasbasidiomycetes produce sexual spores on the surfaces of clubshaped structures.c. Ascomycetes are commonly found in lichens, whereasbasidiomycetes are less commonly partners in lichen associations.d. Ascomycetes are not commonly mycorrhizal partners, butbasidiomycetes are commonly present in mycorrhizal associations.e. All of the above are correct.
