Which of the following best describes the sexual life cycle of bread mold?

A. (1) Multinucleate gametangi are produced and compatible strains undergo plasmogeny, and form (2) a heterokaryotic zygosporangium. (3) Karyogamy of the haploid nuclei takes place to form many diploid nuclei and the zygosporangium develops into a thick-walled zygospore. (4) Meiosis occurs and produces many haploid spores, that (5) are dispersed in air and germinate when finding a suitable environment. B. (1) Multinucleate gametangi are produced and compatible strains undergo karyogamy and plasmogamy, and form (2) a heterokaryotic zygosporangium. (3) Meiosis of the diploid nuclei takes place to form many haploid nuclei and the zygosporangium develops into a thick-walled zygospore. (4) Fusion of haploid nuclei occurs and produces spores, that (5) are dispersed in air and germinate when finding a suitable environment. C. (1) Uninucleate gametangi are produced and compatible strains undergo plasmogeny and form (2) a dikaryotic zygosporangium. (3) Karyogamy forms a diploid nucleus and the zygosporangium develops into a thick-walled zygospore. (4) Meiosis of diploic nuclei occurs and produces four haploid spores, that (5) are dispersed in air and germinate when finding a suitable environment. D. (1) Multinucleate zygosporangia develop thick walls and undergo plasmogamy with compatible strains (2) to form a heterokaryotic gametangium. (3) Karyogamy of the haploid nuclei takes place to form many diploid nuclei and they develop into thick-walled spores. (4) These undergo plasmogamy and produce diploid spores, that (5) are dispersed in air and germinate when finding a suitable environment. E. (1) Multinucleate gametangi with diploid nuclei are produced and compatible strains undergo meiosis (2) to produce a heterokaryotic zygosporangium with haploid nuclei. (3) Karyogamy of these nuclei takes place to form diploid nuclei that have a dark, thick wall. (4) These develop into spores, that (5) are dispersed in air and germinate when finding a suitable environment.

Answer the following statements true (T) or false (F)

1) Plasmids are created exclusively in research laboratories and do not occur naturally. 2) Bacteria that live in extreme environments, such as thermal vents on the ocean floor, have evolved genes that allow them to use the resources within that environment. 3) All the genes in a species' core genome are located on the bacterial chromosome, whereas the genes of the pangenome are carried on plasmids. 4) Mapping genes by conjugation can be performed by interrupted-mating experiments in which conjugation is physically disrupted at 1-minute intervals. 5) Scientists can identify the gene mutated in a bacterial auxotroph by transforming the cells with a genomic library in which fragments of the auxotroph's genome have been cloned into plasmids. 6) Multidrug resistance is not a major health concern because new antibiotics are easily and frequently identified.
