Campbell’s Biology‚ 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 31 Fungi Though fungal divisions have traditionally been based on modes of sexual reproduction‚ molecular considerations are becoming more important. Consequently‚ no emphasis has been placed on the vagaries of sexual and asexual reproduction among various fungi in this Test Bank. Instead‚ new questions assess students’ abilities to think logically about fungal morphology‚ genetics‚ and ecology. Two new sets of scenario questions deal with the biology
