Question: 1
Differentiate between aseptate and septate hyphae.
Answer: 1
1-40
Aseptate Hyphae: These hyphae lack septa and are not divided into individual cells,Instead these are in the form of elongated multinucleated large cells.Such hyphae are called coenocytic hyphae,in which cytoplasm moves effectively,distributing the material throughout.
Question: 2

Answer: 2
2-40

Answer: 13
13-40
Desipte absense of sexuall reproduction,imperfect fungi show special kind of genetic recombination called parasexuality in which portion of chromosomes of two nuclei laying in the same hyphae are exchanged.
Question: 14
Why some fungi called as predators?
Answer: 14
14-40
The oyster mushroom paralyses the nematodes penetrate them and absorb their nutritional content.primarily to fulfill its nitrogen requirments.It fulfill its glucose requirement by breaking the wood.Some species of Arthrobotrys traps soil nematodes by forming constricting rung, their hyphae invading and digesting the unlucky victim.

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: 17
How budding differs from fragmentation?
Answer: 17
17-40
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: 18
What are mycorrhizae? Give its types.
Answer: 18
18-40
Mycorrhiza are a mutualistic association between roots of vascular plants and fungi(about 95% of all kind of vascular plants.)
Types:ectomycorrhiza,endomycorrhizal.
Question: 19
What do you know about fragmentation in fungi?
Answer: 19
19-40
Fragmentation is simple breaking of mycelium of some hyphal fungi.Each broken fragments gives rise to a new mycelium.
Question: 20
Discuss sexual reproduction in Rhizopus.
Answer: 20
20-40
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: 21
What are carnivorous Fungi? Give one example.
Answer: 21
21-40
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.
Question: 22
Differentiate between plasmogamy and karyogamy.
Answer: 22
22-40
Karyogamy : Fusion of two nuclei is karyogamy.
Question: 23
Differentiate between Obligate parasite and facultative parasite.
Answer: 23
23-40
Obligate Parasite : These parasite grow only on their living host and can not be grown on available defined growth medium in lab.

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.
Question: 34
Write down importance of yeast.
Answer: 34

Yeats are heavily used in genetics biological researchers because of their rapid generation and rapidly increasing pool of genetic and biochemical information.
Years was first eukaryote to be used by genetic engineers.
Question: 35
Differentiate between rust and Smut?
Answer: 35
35-40
Rust : Rust is called so because of numerous rusty orange-yellow colored disease spots on their host surface,later revealing brick/rust-red spores of the fungus.
Question: 36
Give importance of lichens.
Answer: 36
36-40
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: 37
What are toadstools? Give example.

Answer: 38
38-40
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.
Question: 39
What is histoplasmosis? Give its reasons.
Answer: 39
39-40
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: 40
What is ringworm? Which fungus is the cause of this disease?
Answer: 40
40-40
It is a skin disease.Fungus attack superficial layer of this skin and grows in a ring like form so called ringworm disease.It is caused by imperfect fungi.
