Which of the following statements about fungi is true?
A) Fungi are commonly identified using biochemical tests.
B) Most fungi reproduce only asexually.
C) Karyogamy refers to a part of the sexual reproduction cycle in which two haploid nuclei fuse to form a diploid zygote.
D) Conidiospores are spores that are enclosed in a specialized sac-like structure.
C) Karyogamy refers to a part of the sexual reproduction cycle in which two haploid nuclei fuse to form a diploid zygote.
Explanation:
The role of Karyogamy in sexual reproduction can be represented by the most single-celled organisms like algae and fungi, which refers to the fusion of two nuclei.
As the cell membrane and cytoplasm must fuse i.e the nuclear fusion that occurs and that is immediately followed immediately by meiosis and the production of ascospores.
After which the dispersal, the ascospores may again get germinate and form the new haploid mycelium.
