Suppose that you discover a fungus that makes both sexual and asexual spores. Suppose also that the sexual spores are made in groups of eight within a structure that bursts open to release the spores. And the structures containing sexual spores are found within a multicellular structure that is about 13 cm tall. Into which group should you classify this fungus?

a. Basidiomycota
b. Zygomycota
c. Glomeromycota
d. Ascomycota


Ans: d. Ascomycota

For a P1 transduction experiment, an E. coli donor strain with the genotype arg+, ser+, ampR and a recipient strain with the genotype arg-, ser-, ampS were used

The following results were obtained for each marker: Of the transductants selected for arginine, 5% are ser+ and 30% are ampR. Of the transductants selected for serine, 3% are arg+ and 0% are ampR. What is the correct order and relative distance of these three genes on the E. coli chromosome?
