Answer 2

Answer:

Lateral conjugation occurs with the involvement of single filament.

Explanation:

Conjugation refers to the type of sexual reproduction in which fusion occurs between two opposite strains. In lateral conjugation, one filament is involved during which adjacent cells present in the same filament act as male and female; and leads to the formation diploid zygospore.

At the end of the process, the cell filament with zygospore is considered as female and empty cell is segregated as male.
