Sexual Reproduction In Zygomycota;

16. Sexual reproduction is only possible in Rhizopus if what is true?

12. Vertical hyphae in Zygomycota produce structures called sporangiophores.

13. The function of these structures is to hold and support the sporangium, which is the structure that contains the spores for reproduction. The sporangiophores also aid in dispersing the spores into the environment.

16. Sexual reproduction is only possible in Rhizopus if two different mating strains (plus and minus strains) are present. These strains produce different types of sex organs, called gametangia, that are necessary for sexual reproduction to occur. When the plus and minus strains come in contact, they fuse to form a zygosporangium, which then undergoes meiosis to produce spores.

12. Vertical hyphae in Zygomycota produce structures called sporangiophores.

To find this information, you can search for resources on the topic of Zygomycota or specifically on the structure and function of hyphae in this group of fungi. A good starting point would be academic articles, biological textbooks, or reliable websites that focus on mycology (the study of fungi).

13. The function of these structures, sporangiophores, is to hold and support the sporangia.

To determine the function of sporangiophores in Zygomycota, you can refer to the same resources mentioned earlier. Look for information regarding the role of sporangiophores in the reproductive process of Zygomycota fungi.

16. Sexual reproduction is only possible in Rhizopus if there is a compatible mating type present.

To find the answer to this question, you can search for specific information about the sexual reproduction process in Rhizopus. Look for resources that discuss the conditions necessary for sexual reproduction in this particular genus of Zygomycota fungi. Academic articles, mycology textbooks, and scientific websites are good places to start your search.
