Fungi Reproduction Quiz

Aplanospores are flagellate spores with thick rough wall.

Aplanospores are produced by the bursting of a thick smooth wall in columella.

Aplanospores get dispersed when the pressure in columella increases due to water absorption.

Chlamydospores form under favorable conditions.

Most species of Rhizopus are homothallic.

Zygospores are produced when mycelia of incompatible strains meet.

Aplanospores are formed within the sporangia at the base of sporangiophores.

Aplanospores are motile spores.

The formation of aplanospores occurs under unfavorable conditions.

Aplanospores are multinucleate spores.

The tip of sporangiophore swells during the formation of aplanospores.

Aplanospores are formed in groups at the base of stolons.

During sexual reproduction in Rhizopus stolonifer, the mycelia of opposite strains develop progametangia that undergo nuclear fusion.

The zygospore in Rhizopus stolonifer secretes a 7-layered structure during the resting period.

Reduction division occurs during the germination of zygospore in Rhizopus stolonifer.

Each spore liberated from the zygospore of Rhizopus stolonifer gives rise to a new zygospore.

Pilobolus is classified as a member of Ascomycota.

Pilobolus grows on the dung of carnivores.
