Use the following information to answer the questions below.
Rose-picker's disease is caused by the yeast,Sporothrix schenkii.The yeast grows on the exteriors of rose-bush thorns.If a human gets pricked by such a thorn,the yeasts can be introduced under the skin.The yeasts then assume a hyphal morphology and grow along the interiors of lymphatic vessels until they reach a lymph node.This often results in the accumulation of pus in the lymph node,which subsequently ulcerates through the skin surface and then drains.
-Say S.schenkii had initially been classified as a deuteromycete.Asci were later discovered in the pus that oozed from an ulcerated lymph node,and the spores therein germinated,giving rise to S.schenkii yeasts.Which two of these are conclusions that make sense on the basis of this information?
1)S.schenkii produces asexual spores within lymph nodes.
2)S.schenkii should be reclassified.
3)S.schenkii continues to have no known sexual stage.
4)The hyphae growing in lymphatic vessels probably belonged to a different fungal species.
5)S.schenkii yeasts belonging to two different mating strains were introduced by the same thorn prick.
