Question

in which class of fungi are clamp found

Answer 1

A '''clamp connection''' is a hook-like structure formed by growing [[hypha]]l cells of certain [[fungi]]. It is created to ensure each [[cell (biology)|cell]], or segment of hypha separated by [[septum|septa]] (cross walls), receives a set of differing [[Cell nucleus|nuclei]], which are obtained through [[Mating in fungi|mating]] of hyphae of differing sexual types. It is used to create [[genetic variation]] within the hypha much like the mechanisms found in [[crozier (mycology)|crozier]] during [[sexual reproduction]]
