Question

Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between the stolon and hyphae in fungi?a) Hyphae produce spores, and the stolon distributes them.b) Hyphae can grow to form a stolon above ground.c) Hyphae store the spores that are produced by the stolon. d) Hyphae are provided structural support by the stolon.

Answer 1

The correct answer is-

B) Hyphae can grow to form a stolon above ground

Step-by-step explanation:

Got it right on the test.

Answer 2

The answer is B. The stolon are hyphae that run horizontally and join one sporangiophore (vertically oriented hyphae with sporangia at tips) –with rhizoids as the ‘roots’ - with the other sporangiophore in the fungi population. They are analogous to rhizoids in eukaryotic runner plants. The attached diagram visually demonstrates this description.
