1. Asexual reproduction in yeasts occurs by budding. Due to unequal cytokinesis, the 'bud' cell receives less cytoplasm than the parent cell. Which of the following should be true of the smaller cell until it reaches the size of the larger cell?
2. Fossil fungi date back to the origin and early evolution of plants. What combination of environmental and morphological change is similar in the evolution of both fungi and plants?
3. Arrange the following from largest to smallest, assuming that they all come from the same fungus. 1.basidiocarp 2.basidium 3.basidiospore 4.mycelium 5.gill
4. Both fungus-derived antibiotics and hallucinogens used by humans probably evolved in fungi as a means to
5. Which description does not apply equally well to both sexual and asexual spores?
6. Which of the following terms refers to symbiotic relationships that involve fungi living between the cells in plant leaves?

8. Which of the following characteristics is shared by both chytrids and other kinds of fungi?
9. In septate fungi, what structures allow cytoplasmic streaming to distribute needed nutrients, synthesized compounds, and organelles throughout the hyphae?
10. In what structures do both Penicillium and Aspergillus produce asexual spores?
11. Lichens are symbiotic associations of fungi and
12. The vegetative (nutritionally active) bodies of most fungi are
13. The functional significance of porous septa in certain fungal hyphae is most similar to that represented by which pair of structures in animal cells and plant cells, respectively?
14. When a mycelium infiltrates an unexploited source of dead organic matter, what are most likely to appear within the food source soon thereafter?
15. Which of these paired fungal structures are structurally and functionally most alike?
16. The photosynthetic symbiont of a lichen is often
17. Orchid seeds are tiny, with virtually no endosperm and with miniscule cotyledons. If such seeds are deposited in a dark, moist environment, then which of the following represents the most likely means by which fungi might assist in seed germination, given what the seeds lack?
18. What accounts most directly for the extremely fast growth of a fungal mycelium?

20. The multicellular condition of animals and fungi seems to have arisen
21. If haustoria from the fungal partner were to appear within the photosynthetic partner of a lichen, and if the growth rate of the photosynthetic partner consequently slowed substantially, then this would support the claim that
22. If all of their nuclei are equally active transcriptionally, then the cells of both dikaryotic and heterokaryotic fungi, in terms of the gene products they can make, are essentially
23. After cytokinesis occurs in budding yeasts, the daughter cell has a
24. Which of the following conditions is caused by a fungus that is accidentally consumed along with rye flour?
