Zygomycota - 200
Question:
When zygomycetes reproduce sexually,
they produce these.
Answer: What are zygospores?
Zygomycota - 400
Question:
These two types of hyphae either extend
down into the food source or along it’s
surface.
Answer: What are rhizoids and stolons?
Zygomycota - 600
Question:
Sporangia that form from a zygospore
release spores that have half of the
needed DNA. We call a sexual cell that
doesn’t have a full set of DNA this.
Answer: What is haploid?
Zygomycota - 800
Question:
This is the unifying characteristic of this
phylum.
Answer: They have hyphae without septa
no individual cells.
Zygomycota - 1000
Question:
When two haploid hyphae strains, called
+ and -, fuse together they form these.
Answer: What is a gametangium?
Ascomycota - 200
Question:
Yeast, a unicellular ascomycetes,
reproduces asexually using this
technique.
Answer: What is budding?
Ascomycota - 400
Question:
This phylum of Fungi is also called the
____ fungi.
Answer: What is sac fungi?
Ascomycota - 600
Question:
The main sexual reproductive bodies in
this group are a sac shaped structure
called this.
Answer: What is an ascus?
Ascomycota - 800
Question:
In the sac of this fungi, meiosis occurs
forming many haploid spores. These
sexual spores are called this.
Answer: What are ascospores?
Ascomycota - 1000
Question:
The asexual chain of spores that is typical
of this phylum is called this.
Answer: What is a Conidia?
Basidiomycota - 200
Question:
These fungi are commonly called club
fungi and are most commonly seen as
these fall time structures.
Answer: What are mushrooms?
Basidiomycota - 400
Question:
These structures found on the underside
of a cap increase surface area for spore
production and release.
Answer: What are gills?
Basidiomycota - 600
Question:
The club shaped hyphae that produce
spores are called this.
Answer: What is basidia?
Basidiomycota - 800
Question:
The button that pops up above ground for
spore production and release is
composed of this material that is tightly
packed.
Answer: What is mycelium?
Basidiomycota - 1000
Question:
These sexual cells are released from the
gills and dispersed by wind, water, or
animals.
Answer: What are basidiospores?
Deuteromycota- 200
Question:
This very important fungi in this phylum
was discovered to kill off bacteria.
Answer: What is Penicillin?
Deuteromycota - 400
Question:
Fungi are placed in this phylum mainly
because we lack knowledge of how they
do this.
Answer: What is reproduce?
Deuteromycota - 600
Question:
Deuteromycetes can make food this type
of flavor because it can be used to create
citric acid.
Answer: What is a tart flavor?
Deuteromycota - 800
Question:
Even though we don’t know how these
fungi reproduce, we still know that their
cell walls are composed on this material.
Answer: What is chitin?
Deuteromycota - 1000

The people who study deuteromycetes
and other types of fungi are called these.
Answer: What are mycologists?

process.
Answer: What is absorption or decomposition?
General ?’s - 400

These organisms, which include Fungi,
cannot make their own food and must get
their energy from their environment.
Answer: What are heterotrophs?
General ?’s - 600
Question:
This term is used to describe cells that
contain nuclei, including all Fungi cells.

fungus and an algae or cyanobacteria.
Answer: What are Lichen?
General ?’s - 1000

Final Jeopardy Question
Directions:
On a small piece of scratch paper, write down your group’s number.
Next, each group writes down their group’s wager.
You can’t bet more points than your group has earned.
Bring me the piece of paper with group’s number and bet.
Question: This term is used to describe another
type of asexual reproduction used by fungi. It
occurs when the mycelium is broken into pieces
that later grow into a new mycelium.
Answer: What is fragmentation?
