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.
