Ascomycota 

Great. I hope you aced the exams!

not sure if anyone gives a shit but if you guys are bored like me atm you can stream all of the latest series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend lately =)

@Adam Jensen Definitely, I've been watching on instaflixxer for since november myself :D

Dear Tubetolombe, Based on my research for the video, 'alpha' and 'a' is standard for denoting to different yeast cells. Remember, they are both haploid; and yes they are genetically similar to their parent cell. They are the product of fission, and are thus clones of their parents. But 'alpha' and 'a' are different from each other. That is 'alpha' has a set of alleles that are different from those in 'a'. When 'alpha' and 'a' fuse together, the result is a diploid 'alpha'/'a' cell. This cell will undergo two rounds of meiosis to rearrange the genes and give off 4 genetically distinct haploid daughter cells. Your point of coloring these final daughter cells different shades of orange is a good idea. I will keep this in mind for the next video to show differences in genetic make up. Thank you for your comment and I hope this clarifies your questions.

You're welcome!

I am glad I can help.

Thank you!

You're welcome.

Hi Diego, thank you for your comment. I used the Draw feature in PowerPoint (this video) and the Sketchable App for drawing. My images are PowerPoint slides and I record/edit using Camtasia. You can also use Screencast-O-matic fore recording/editing.

The best example of an ascomycota fungi would be the Peziza because the ascus are fully formed and easy to recognize.

Thank you for picking up on this. I made an annotation regarding the meiotic division followed by mitosis. I cannot change the colors without making a new video, but I would like to understand your concern. Are you talking about the final 8 ascospores. I don't believe they are identical since they just underwent meiosis. Can you please clarify which 8 haploids your are referring to? Thanks, Gilles

Dear Kyu rA, can you please ask the question differently? I'm not sure if I understand it correctly. Each generation is one complete life cycle.

Gilles Bolduc i want to know what type is the life cycle of aspergillus ( sexuel reproduction) like if its two generations (the one who gives gamits n nd the sporophyte 2n ) or if its a three generations and thank you in advance

Thank you, I will keep this in mind in my future videos.

Deuteromycotina (a.k.a. Deuteromycota) is a phylum that mycologists group fungi with no known sexual reproduction. As they learned more about the members, usually by DNA analysis, theses members are moved out of the Deuteromycota phylum and placed in their correct phylum. The interesting thing is that the majority are placed into the Ascomycota phylum. I suspect this is what happened to Penicillium.

@@ProfGillesBolduc yeah, no, im aware that 'fungi imperfecti' usually turn out to be ascos, its just that im studying for my micology final and my recently published textbook inexplicably puts penicillium in the deuteromycoyina subphylum

I wish I can help you more than this. But this is what I learned from my research. Go with what your textbook tells you for your final exam and ask your professor for his/her thoughts. (It could score you some points!) I'm hoping he/she is a mycologist and thus knows more than I. I'm a bacteriologist. Please let me know what they say. Good luck on your final exam.

@@ProfGillesBolduc hey, thanks a bunch, man! and no worries, the textbook is probably wrong, not an unusual thing where im from, haha I'll be sure to.tell my professor about the discrepancy, and you've got a new subscriber

@@ProfGillesBolduc so i think i figured out why i was confused, the textbook mentions only the anamorphic phase of penicillium in relation to the subphylum deuteromycotina... i guess the authors were aware that it shouldn't be classified in the mentioned subphylum, but did it anyway, cause we have to study -some- deuteros that are not aspergillus haha
