3/6/2021 Chapter 12 The Eukaryotes: Fungi Algae Protozoa Helminths Arthropods Overview of Eukaryotic Reproduction DNA packaged as chromosomes in the nucleus Have variety of methods of asexual reproduction Many reproduce sexually by forming gametes and zygotes Algae, fungi, and some protozoa reproduce both sexually and asexually Consists of nuclear and cytoplasmic division Nuclear division has one or two complete copies of genome Single copy (haploid) ‐ Most fungi, many algae, some protozoa Two copies (diploid) ‐ Remaining fungi, algae, and protozoa – Types Mitosis Meiosis 1 3/6/2021 Cytokinesis – cytoplasmic division Figure 12.2 Different types of cytoplasmic division- overview 2 3/6/2021 Schizogony Produce multinucleate schizont After cytokinesis = many daughter cells Figure 12.3 Schizogony Fungi – Mycology Chemoheterotrophic (saprophytic) – Obtain food through absorption Cell wall contains chitin Lack chlorophyll Aerobic or facultative anaerobic Multicellular (molds), unicellular (yeasts) Sexual and asexual spores – Classified based on their form of sexual reproduction Cellular arrangement – unicellular, filamentous, fleshy 3 3/6/2021 Significance of Fungi Decompose dead organisms and recycle their nutrients Help plants absorb water and minerals Used for food and in manufacture of foods and beverages Produce antibiotics Serve as important research tools 30% cause diseases of plants, animals, and humans Can spoil fruit, pickles, jams, and jellies Fungal Morphology Thallus – the body of the mold or fleshy fungus – vegetative Consists of long filaments – hyphae (joined) together Mycelium.
