Title: The life cycle of Dictyostelium -- What causes the two amoebas to fuse, forming a zygote? Post by: B.I.O.L.O.G.Y. on Feb 12, 2017 This is what I got for the following mastering biology problem:
The diagram below illustrates the life cycle of Dictyostelium, a cellular slime mold. Label the diagram to indicate the processes that are occurring as well as whether each cell type is haploid or diploid. (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/641157_12_02_17_11_33_17.png) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view&id=24640) A= amoebas emerge from large capsule B= amoebas (n) C= cells aggregate when food is scarce D= two amoebas fuse to form a zygote E= amoebas (n) F= zygote (2n) G= aggregate migrates H= amoebas (n) I= fruiting body releases spores J= spores (n) K= one amoeba emerges from each spore L= amoebas (n) My question is, what causes the two amoebas to fuse, forming a zygote? The answer just says two amoebas "may" fuse, so does it just happen by chance? Title: Re: The life cycle of Dictyostelium -- What causes the two amoebas to fuse, forming a zygote?
