front 1 What is the most diverse fungal phylum? | back 1 Phylum Ascomycota |
front 2 What is the ascus? | back 2 The defining feature in a microscopic sexually structure |
front 3 Where is the ascospores formed? | back 3 In the ascus |
front 4 What way do they reproduce? | back 4 Both sexually and asexually |
front 5 What is Plasmogamy? | back 5 The fusion of two hyphae together |
front 6 What is Dikaryotic stage? | back 6 Cells have two haploid nuclei |
front 7 What is Karyogamy? | back 7 Nuclei fuse together and create one diploid nucleus |
front 8 What is meiosis in ascomycetes? | back 8 Results in four cells haploid ascospores |
front 9 What is mitosis in ascomycetes? | back 9 Cells divide to form eight ascospores in an ascus |
front 10 What is dispersal? | back 10 Mature ascus release the ascospores to start a new mycelium |
front 11 What is sodaria fimicola? | back 11 Microscopic ascomycete that has a life cycle of 1-2 weeks. Spends most of its life in a haploid vegetative state. |
front 12 What is tetrad analysis? | back 12 Tetrad refers to the four spores created after meiosis in the Ascomycota life cycle |
front 13 What is gene linkage? | back 13 The tendency of genes that are located close to each other on the same chromosome to be inherited together during meiosis |
front 14 When traits are frequently seen inherited together we can create a what? | back 14 genetic map |
front 15 What is genetic mapping? | back 15 When 2 traits are regularly inherited together, therefore we can determine that the genes are close together on a chromosome. |
front 16 What are the ways to make a linkage map? | back 16 crossbreeding, tracking traits, or recombination frequency |
front 17 What is the recombination frequency? | back 17 recombinants/total offsprings x 100% |
front 18 Sordaria is good to use in labs for what experiments? | back 18 For conducting tetrad analysis for the segregation for score colored mutants. |
front 19 How is ascopore color determined? | back 19 By the genotype of the spore. (It can be observed in the ascus) |
front 20 What is sickle cell? | back 20 It is an inherited blood disorder that affects around 5 million people worldwide. The body is not able to create hemoglobin– a protein that transports oxygen. |
front 21 Is sickle cell recessive or dominant? | back 21 recessive |
front 22 What does a sickle cell look like? | back 22 c-shaped, stiff, prone to clotting, and a life span of 15 days |
