Highlights•Mating type loci and sex chromosomes are associated with suppressed recombination.•Exceptions to recombination suppression are known in the fungi.•Some fungal mating systems rely on or include increased recombination frequencies.It is striking that, while central to sexual reproduction, ...
III. Asexual reproduction occurs when the conditions are unfavourable. IV. Asexual reproduction is a slow process. Choose the statements correctly representing asexual reproduction. View Solution Which is associated with asexual reproduction in fungi ...
Compared to the other sexual reproduction systems in fungi, such as homothallism and hetero- thallism, the mechanisms of unidirectional mating type switching are less studied. Recent studies have shed some light on the possible mechanisms. Witthuhn et al.15, using PCR specific for the HMG-DNA...
accumulate in regions with lower recombination rates18,19, particularly in non-recombining regions such as in centromeres20, pericentromeric regions21,22,23, and the non-recombining regions of sex chromosomes in plants, algae and animals24,25,26,27 and of mating-type chromosomes in fungi28,29,...
1. What is another name for a parasitic worm? 2. Which organism would be classifired as a prokaryote? Algae, fungi bacteria or a virus? What type of reproduction is found in bacteria? What bacteria have thick peptidoglycan cell walls?
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MPK) cascade is a key intermediate module, responding to numerous stimuli in plants, animals and fungi, leading to a diverse array of outputs1,2,3,4. Understanding the mechanisms underlying specificity in such an hourglass architecture presents a substantial cha...
One mode of asexual reproduction in yeast is budding, where daughter cells grow out of parent cells as buds and eventually detach from them; the second mode is through fission in which a parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells....
gastropods who often feed on corticioid fungi. Their excrements contain viable cells of algae and fungi who give rise to new alcobiotic coating shortly after. This type of reproduction is similar to lichen“isidia“ (i.e., specific lichen thallus structures used in vegetative reproduction). ...
Asexual reproduction is a means of reproduction during which one parent generates genetically identical offspring. Because only one parent is involved, and often each parent makes two offspring, this allows for rapid population growth. However, the population may be vulnerable if it experien...
of organisms (as certain fungi or protozoans) incapable of sexual reproduction with one another but capable of such reproduction with members of other strains of the same organism and often capable of behaving as male in respect to one strain and as female in respect to another see minus, ...
