Question

What does karyogamy in fungi produce?

Answer 1

Karyogamy:

1. It is the final step in the fusion of two haploid eukaryotic cells and specifically refers to the fusion of two nuclei.
2. In fungi, karyogamy sexual reproduction leads to the fusion of these haploid nuclei and the formation of diploid nuclei (i.e. a nucleus consists of two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent).
3. The cell formed by karyogamy is called a zygote.
