a.

Define the terms genome and proteome.

b.

Explain why modern phylogenetic classification of fungal pathogens using genome sequencing is more accurate than historical classification methods that relied on observing asexual spore structures (such as conidia) under an optical microscope.

c.

In a study of fungal cell biology, a student measures the diameter of a spherical yeast cell in a printed electron micrograph.

  • The measured diameter of the cell's image is 9.1 cm9.1\text{ cm}9.1 cm.
  • The actual diameter of the yeast cell is 2.6 μm2.6\ \mu\text{m}2.6 μm.

Calculate the magnification of the image. Show your working.
