Video transcript

Hello, everyone here We have a question that says in most fungal species, sexual fertilization occurs by the fusion of nuclei and fusion of a pollen bee spores, C. Hi fi or D. Gills. The fusion of nuclei and fusion of hi fi occurs during the first stage of sexual reproduction, which is called plasma gamy. In this process, the cytoplasm of the cells in the hi fi fused together without fusing their nuclei together. So our answer here is C. Hi Fi, thank you for watching. Bye.

Textbook Question
SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY • INTERPRET THE DATA The grass Dichanthelium lanuginosum lives in hot soils and houses fungi of the genus Curvularia as endophytes. Researchers tested the impact of Curvularia on the heat tolerance of this grass. They grew plants without (E−) and with (E+) Curvularia endophytes at different temperatures and measured plant mass and the number of new shoots the plants produced. Draw a bar graph for plant mass versus temperature and interpret it.
