Imagine that sexual reproduction could occur between hyphae that were the same mating type. how might this affect rates of evolution in fungi? a) rates of evolution would increase, because more novel genetic combinations are generated through sexual reproduction. b) rates of evolution would stay the same, because as long as sexual reproduction is occurring, it does not matter whether it is between individuals of the same or different mating type.

step 1: nitrogen fixation- conversion of atmospheric no₂ into forms useful to plants by lightning, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.

step 2: nitrification-process of converting ammonia to nitrite or nitrate.

step 3: assimilation-plant roots absorb new form of nitrogen.

step 4: ammonification-conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia by bacteria involved in decomposition.

step 5: denitrification-bacteria turns the decomposed matter back into n₂o, which is released into atmosphere; repeat cycle.

the answer is cell division : )
