5 major lineages of Fungi

Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, Glomeromycota, Ascomycetes, and Basidiomycetes

Chytridiomycota characteristics

Live in water and make flagellated haploid spores

Zygomycota characteristics

Very resistant spores made from the zygote that can survive in outerspace/microwave

glomeromycota characteristics

Form specialized mycorrhizal hyphae that actually grow inside plant root cells (penetrate the cell wall but not the cell membrane) to donate inorganic nutrients in exchange for sugars

Ascomycetes characteristics

Hyphae from 2 different individual haploid fungi come together and join into onehypha, but nuclei do not fuse: Dikaryotic= cells with 2 haploid nuclei The haploid nuclei fuse into one diploid nucleus (zygote) for recombination only in reproductive cells, each of which becomes the Ascus, a sac containing 8 haploid ascospores produced through meiosis

Basidiomycetes characteristics

Sexual life cycle similar to Ascomycetes: hyphae from 2 different individual haploid fungi grow together, but nuclei do not fuse: Dikaryotic= each cell with 2haploid nuclei- a mushroom is made of dikaryotic mycelium Nuclei fuse for recombination in a diploid cell that becomes the basidium (zygote), which makes 4 dangling haploid spores through meiosis.

Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes
