|
where the group of organisms traditionally studied by mycologists represent a monophyletic lineage?
|
nope
|
|
|
What are at least the four distinct evolutionary lineages?
|
1. 'true' fungi
2. oomycetes 3. plasmodial slime molds 4. cellular slime molds |
|
|
Is true fungi a momophyletic lineage?
|
yes
|
|
|
What groups do the true funi include?
|
Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, Ascomycota and Basidiomycota
|
|
|
What are some ways that fungi obtain nutrition?
|
Some are saprophytic, using only dead organic as food. Others rely on other organisimsn, either through parasitism which is harmful for the host or symbiosis which is beneficial to both
|
|
|
which group are water molds a part of?
|
oomycota
|
|
|
what group is also referrered to as the plasmodial slime molds
|
myxomycota
|
|
|
what group is also known as the cellular slime molds
|
dictyosteliomycota
|
|
|
what does the 'pseudofungi' group consist of?
|
Oomycota
Myxomycota Dictyosteliomycota |
|
|
what morphological group are Oomycotas a part of?
|
Heterokonts
|
|
|
what are the Oomycota closely related to?
|
diatomes, chrysophytes and brown algae
|
|
|
in the tree of life where are the slime molds placed?
|
it is less clear but evidence suggest that they are unikonts
|
|
|
what are the slime molds closely related to?
|
from the unikont group, more closely related to fungi and animals than any other group
|
|
|
What are the animal and fungal like characteristics of the slime molds
|
animal like in that they ingest food early in the life-cycle, fungal-like in that they produce walled sporangia and spores late in the life cycle
|
|
|
what group has the earliest branching "true" fungal lineage and the only fungal group to have retained the basal condition of flagellated zoospores/.
|
Chytrids
