Question: 1
Why non septate hyphae are called coenocytic hyphae?
Answer: 1
1-40
Aseptate hyphae lack septa and are not divided into individual cell.Instead these are in the form of elongated multinucleate large cell.Aseptate hyphae are called coenocytic hyphae,in which cytoplasm moves effectively.
Question: 2
What do you know about fragmentation in fungi?
Answer: 2
2-40
Fragmentation is simple breaking of mycelium of some hyphal fungi.Each broken fragments gives rise to a new mycelium.

Differentiate between aseptate and septate hyphae.
Answer: 5
5-40

Chitin in their cell wall is major component.
Question: 11
Discuss sexual reproduction in Rhizopus.
Answer: 11
11-40
Sexual reproduction in Rhizopus takes place by means of gametangial contact.First of all opposite mating types comes close to each other and they contact each other.The wall between them is dissolved and plasmography takes place,After plasmography fusion of nuclei occurs and diploid zygote is formed.
Question: 12
Differentiate between hyphae and mycelium.
Answer: 12
12-40

13-40
Mushrooms,truffles,morels
Question: 14
What is nuclear mitosis?Give example.
Answer: 14
14-40
During nuclear mitosis.nuclear envelope does not break instead mitotic spindle are formed within nucleus and nuclear membrane constrict between the two cluster of daughter chromosomes.
Question: 15
Name method of asexual reproduction in fungi.
Answer: 15
15-40
Budding,spore formation ,conidia formation and fragmentation.
Question: 16
Give importance of lichens.
Answer: 16
16-40
Lichens growing on rocks break them,setting stage for other organisms during the course of ecological succession.Lichen are very good bioindicators of air quality as they are very sensitive to pollution.
Question: 17
State a role of algae and fungi in lichens.
Answer: 17
17-40
Fungus protect the algal partner from strong light and desiccation and it get food from algae while synthesis food for itself and also provide it to fungi.
Question: 18
Differentiate between ectomycorrhiza and endomycorrhiza.
Answer: 18
18-40
Endomycorrhiza: In this type the fungal hyphae penetrate only in to the cell walls forming,coils,swellings and minute branches and also extent out in to the surrounding soil.
Question: 19
Name method of asexual reproduction in fungi?
Answer: 19
19-40
Fungi can be produced asexually by following method.
  1. By means of budding
  2. By conidia formation
  3. By spore formation
  4. By fragmentation
Question: 20
Differentiate between Septate hyphaeand coenocytic hyphae.
Answer: 20
20-40
Septate hyphae:These hyphae are divided by cross walls called septa into individual cells containing one or more nuclei.
Question: 21
What are aflatoxins?
Answer: 21
21-40
Some strains of aspergillus produce mycotoxins called aflatoxins.Aspergillus produce mycotoxins called aflatoxins.
Question: 22
Differentiate between plasmogamy and karyogamy.
Answer: 22
22-40
Karyogamy : Fusion of two nuclei is karyogamy.
Question: 23
Write resembles of fungi with plants?
Answer: 23
23-40
1.Like plants fungi also have cell wall.
2.Both plants and fungi don't have centrioles.
3.Plants and fungi both are non-motile.
Question: 24
How budding differs from fragmentation?
Answer: 24
24-40
Budding: Unicellular yeasts reproduce by budding an asymmetric division in which tiny out growth or bud is produced which may separate and grow i into new cell or by simple relatively equal cell division.
Question: 25

Answer: 31
31-40
Carnivorous fungi are active predators.They paralyze the nematodes,penetrate them and also absorb their nutritional content,primarily to fulfil its nitrogen contents,Example Oyster mushroom.

Answer: 33
33-40
Penicillium reproduces by means of naked spores called conidia,These are found in chains at the tip of special hyphae called conidiophores,which are branched.These conidia give color to the mycelia colony,which is circular.

What are toadstools? Give example.
Answer: 36
36-40
Toadstools are poisonous mushroom such as death cap/death angel and jack-O lantern mushroom.
Question: 37
Differentiate between Ascocarp and Basidiocarp group.
Answer: 37
37-40
Ascocarp : Most sac fungi have ascii inside the macroscopic fruiting body called ascocarp.Their hyphae are septate.They have lengthy dikaryotic phase that form ascocarp.

What is histoplasmosis? Give its reasons.
Answer: 38
38-40
Histoplasmosis is a serious infection disease of lungs caused by inhaling spores fungus which is common in soil contaminated with bird feces.If infection spread into bloodstream and them to other organs,It can be serious and even fatal.
Question: 39
Compare ascus with basidium.
Answer: 39

Question: 40
What are hyphae and mycelium?
Answer: 40
40-40
The body of fungus is called mycelium,consists of long slender,branched tubular thread like filaments called the hyphae.Hyphae spread extensively on the surface of substratum.
