Question

Sexual reproduction in fungus happens in which sequence

• A. Karyogamy, Plasmogamy and Meiosis
• B. Plasmogamy, Karyogamy and Meiosis
• C. Meiosis, Plasmogamy and Karyogamy
• D. Meiosis, Karyogamy and Plasmogamy

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Plasmogamy, Karyogamy and Meiosis

The correct option is B.

Explanation for Correct option:

1. Sexual reproduction in fungus is the process of reproduction that occurs by the union of their hyphae into the anastomosis.
2. When two haploid hyphae join one other, the reproduction process begins. In fungus, sexual reproduction occurs in three stages: plasmogamy, karyogamy, and meiosis.
3. Plasmogamy is a sexual reproduction condition in which the protoplasm's fuse and the cell becomes haploid.
4. Karyogamy occurs when the nucleus undergoes a fusion operation. The fungal cells reach a point where the two chromosomal sets collide. The entire complex is referred to as the zygote at this stage.
5. Meiosis occurs in fungus when orgasms begin to evolve from meiospores.

Explanation for incorrect options:

Option A

1. Meiosis is one of the most effective sexual reproduction methods in fungi because it allows for total genetic differentiation, resulting in the formation of additional individual fungi clusters.
2. These can replicate more and continue to accomplish the same.

Option C

1. It is normally single-celled and generated in a sac known as an ascus.
2. An ascus contains four to eight Ascospores, but the number varies between species.

Option D

1. Because sperms are lighter and smaller than seeds, they propagate by floating on the wind or catching a ride on an animal.
2. Ascospores are typically organized in a linear manner, with a few exceptions being long, narrow, and organized in parallel order.

Final answer:

Sexual reproduction in fungus happens in the following sequence plasmogamy, karyogamy, and meiosis.
