Medically important Fungi: Zygomycota, Basidiomycota and Ascomycota. Differentiate the characteristics of these phyla of Fungi based on the following items: i. Growth characteristics ii. Asexual spores types iii. Example of human pathogen iv.Habitat

Answer»

gdom Fungi contains five major phyla that were established according to their MODE of sexual reproduction or using molecular data. Polyphyletic, unrelated fungi that reproduce without a sexual cycle are placed for convenience in a sixth group called a “form phylum.” Not all mycologists agree with this scheme. Rapid advances in molecular biology and the sequencing of 18S rRNA (a part of RNA) continue to show new and different relationships between the various categories of fungi.The five true phyla of fungi are the Chytridiomycota (Chytrids), the Zygomycota (conjugated fungi), the Ascomycota (sac fungi), the Basidiomycota (club fungi) and the recently described Phylum Glomeromycota. The Deuteromycota is an informal group of unrelated fungi that all SHARE a common character – they use strictly asexual reproduction.Note: “-mycota” is used to designate a phylum while “-mycetes” formally denotes a class or is used informally to refer to all members of the phylum.1. Characteristics of Plants Growth:Growth is the MANIFESTATION of life. All organisms, the simplest as well as the most intricate, are slowly changing the whole time they are alive. They transform material into more of themselves.From such ingredients as minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, hormones etc., organisms form additional protoplasm. The formation of protoplasm is called assimilation.2. Most fungi are terrestrial, growing as hyphae and producing thick‐walled nonmotile spores. Asexual sporesinclude sporangiospores and conidia, whereas sexual spores include zygospores, ascospores and basidiospores.3. A human pathogen is capable of causing illness in humans. Commonexamples of pathogenic organisms include specific strains of bacteria like Salmonella, Listeria and E. coli, and viruses such as Cryptosporidium.4. In ecology, a habitat is the type of natural environment in which a particular species of ORGANISM lives. It is characterized by both physical and biological features. A species' habitat is those PLACES where it can find food, shelter, protection and mates for reproduction.I hope this answer is helpful to u...❤❤❤Keep Asking... ✌️✌️✌️✨✨✨If help u.
