Propose an experiment to test whether Pilobolus shoots its sporangia preferentially toward light. Hypothesize why such a preference might be advantageous.

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So why does the pilobolus fungus should a sac that contains sports towards a light source? So, before we jump into this problem, let me quickly remind you of this very important facts about this fungus and it is that these fungi rely on cows and goats for reproduction. So remember that sports are what these fungi used for reproduction. Now, if they're shooting it towards a light source, this is because light is coming from that location, meaning that grass is very likely to grow there. If there is grass growing there, then cows and goats will be eating it. So this area will be very beneficial for the fun guy to reproduce. This is why they're shooting the sports over there. So the correct answer choice for this is answer choice D because it is most likely an open an open area where grass loves to grow, since grass is growing their cows and goats will be feeding on it, and the fun guy can send its sports over there for reproduction. There is a final answer to a question and I really hope this video helped you
