Part 1.
Choose an organism from the Basidomycota phylum and include the following
1. Family, Genus and species, common name and Latin name
2. Detailed PHYSICAL description of organism,
3. What biome does the organism live in?
4. Where in the biome does the organism live?
5. What climate does it live in?How large is the range (the amount of space needed) of the organism?
6. What are the optimal growth condition
7. How long does the organism gestate (develop) or germinate - the time between fertilization and birth (inapplicable)?
8. How long is the growth period - the time between birth (or, for example, germination of a plant) andreproductive viability - i.e.;
9. How old is it at reproductive maturity?
10. How long does the organism live, on average, once it reaches reproductive maturity?
11. What is the average total lifespan of the organism?Life History Strategies:
12. How many offspring does an individual produce, on average, in a lifetime?Of the offspring produced, how many typically survive to reproductive maturity?
13. How well developed is the organism at birth (if applicable)?
14. How much parental care is required?
15. Does the organism use an r-selected or K-selected strategy?
(r-selectedorganisms produce a lot of well-developed offspring; they provide little or no parentalcare; often have a short lifespan; offspring have a low survival rate. Example: honeybees
K-selectedorganisms typically mature more slowly; produce fewer offspring over a longer period oftime; provide a lot of parental care; have a low mortality (high survival) rate. Example: humans)
