Question

What is meant by plasmogamy?

Answer 1

Plasmogamy:

1. Plasmogamy is the sexual reproductive phase of fungus.
2. The protoplasm of two-parent cells merges during this phase, and the process continues without nuclei fusion, eventually resulting in two haploid nuclei in the same cell.
3. It results in the formation of a dikaryon, or two nuclei per cell.
4. It is a stage of fungus sexual reproduction in which the protoplasm of two-parent mycelia merges without the nuclei fusing, resulting in the formation of two haploid nuclei in the same cell.
