Fungi are able to reproduce asexually by creating conidiospores and sporangiospores. Which
of the following is an accurate explanation for why it is advantageous that they are also
capable of sexual reproduction?
Select one:
a. Asexually produced offspring are more likely to compete for resources and will kill off the
parental fungi.
b. Fungi normally produce sexually but produce asexually in harsh conditions such as severe
drought.
,c. Offspring from two parents may have variations in form and function that contribute to
survival of the species.
d. Sexual reproduction produces more offspring at a faster rate than spore formation. -
CORRECT ANSWER- Offspring from two parents may have variations in form and function
that contribute to survival of the species.

Microbial drug resistance can be caused by mutations or by introduction of new genes into a
population. Which of the following can only be caused by the introduction of new genes into
a population?
Select one:
a. a metabolic pathway in the bacterium is shut down
b. binding sites for the drug are reduced in number or affinity to the drug
c. new enzymes that inactivate the drug are synthesized
d. uptake of the drug into the bacterium is diminished - CORRECT ANSWER- new enzymes
that inactivate the drug are synthesized. This can only occur if new genes are introduced into
the population.
