Solution

Dikaryotic phase is a unique stage in sexual reproduction shown by fungi. During this unusual phase, which is common in many species of fungi, cells contain two distinct nuclei. These two nuclei divide simultaneously as the mycelium grows; growth continues until fusion occurs during karyogamy resulting in diploid condition. It occurs due to delay of karyogamy after plasmogamy( fusion of gametes).
