At crayfish boils or other meals where the entire body of the crayfish is presented, other portions, such as the claw meat, may be eaten. Claws of larger boiled specimens are often pulled apart to access the meat inside.
An ascospore is a spore contained in an ascus or that was produced inside an ascus. This kind of spore is specific to fungi classified as ascomycetes (Ascomycota). Typically, a single ascus will contain eight ascospores. The eight spores are produced by meiosis followed by a mitotic division. Two meiotic divisions turn the original diploid zygote nucleus into four haploid ones.
That is whatyou will do over the next two weeks in this laboratory.I. Natural history and Life Cycle of Sordaria fimicolaSordaria fimicola is an ascomycete fungi that can be found growing in rottingvegetation and animal dung (in fact, the name Sordaria fimicola means filthy dungdweller).n some ascomycetes, the ascospores are arranged randomly within the ascus, but in Sordaria, Neurospora and many others, they are arranged in a way that reflectsthe events that took place during the first and second meiotic divisions. The fourproducts of meiosis (in any organism) are called a tetrad.
