Question

19. Write a note on the steps involved in sexual cycle of fungi.


​

Answer 1

Sexual reproduction in the fungi consists of three sequential stages: plasmogamy, karyogamy, and meiosis. The diploid chromosomes are pulled apart into two daughter cells, each containing a single set of chromosomes (a haploid state). ... The cell formed by karyogamy is called the zygote.

Answer 2

Answer:

The sexual cycle of fungi occurs in three steps:

1. Plasmogamy: Protoplasms of two motile or non-motile gametes fuse.
2. Karyogamy: Fusion of nuclei of two gametes.
3. The zygote undergoes meiosis resulting in the formation of haploid spores.
