| 1. | Heterothallic strains of different mating type can conjugate to form zygospores.
|
| 2. | Their zygospores are smooth, and borne on apposed, appendaged suspensors.
|
| 3. | The result of karyogamy is a diploid cell called a zygote or zygospore.
|
| 4. | The data from this cross provided supporting evidence for meiosis during zygospore development.
|
| 5. | Therefore, zygospores are the result of sexual reproduction.
|
| 6. | Where observed, the sexual spores ( zygospores ) are globose and unornamented.
|
| 7. | Zygospores produced by the fungus have irregular surface crevices.
|
| 8. | Upon germination, a zygospore produces colonies that are genetically different from either parent.
|
| 9. | Meiosis occurs within the " zygospore " ( see article Phycomyces ).
|
| 10. | Zygospore formation may be stimulated at higher temperatures of incubation ( 30 40 �C ).
