10 Questions

Asexual spores (mitospores) are produced following ______

mitosis

F.oxysporum produces thick-walled ______, smaller microconidia, and macroconidia shaped like bananas

chlamydospores

Conidia and ______ are the two primary asexual spore types produced by fungi

sporangiospores

Sporangiospores are observed in ______ fungi

Phycomycetes

In filamentous Ascomycetes fungi, yeasts and fungi that form yeast-like colony, tiny buds occur on different places of ______

hyphae

Generally, more than one small buds (______) are developed and grow. Blastospores become independent after getting matured. Blastospores may remain attached to the hyphae or main cell (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Chlamydospores are thick-walled, single-celled spores produced by aerial hyphae and they are highly resistant to adverse environment. Chlamidospores may occur in the middle, side, and at the end of the hyphae. Some fungi (Histoplasma) produce chlamydospores with small spine-like projections in their wall (tuberculate). Conidiospore is a type of asexual reproductive spore of fungi usually produced at the tip or side of hyphae or on special spore-producing structures called conidiophores. The spores detach when mature. They vary widely in shape, color, and size, large ones being called macroconidia, small ones, microconidia.

blastospores

Blastospores become independent after getting matured. Blastospores may remain attached to the hyphae or main cell (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). ______ are thick-walled, single-celled spores produced by aerial hyphae and they are highly resistant to adverse environment. Clamidospores may occur in the middle, side, and at the end of the hyphae. Some fungi (Histoplasma) produce chlamydospores with small spine-like projections in their wall (tuberculate). Conidiospore is a type of asexual reproductive spore of fungi usually produced at the tip or side of hyphae or on special spore-producing structures called conidiophores.
