Question

Where does the process of Karyogamy and meiosis take place in mushrooms?

Answer 1

Karyogamy and meiosis:

1. Karyogamy is a well-regulated process in which the pronuclei fuse.
2. Meiosis is a kind of cell division that results in the production of four gamete cells and a halving of the parent cell's chromosome count.
3. This produces a zygote, or zygospore, a diploid cell that can begin meiosis, a process of chromosome duplication, recombination, and cell division that produces four new haploid gamete cells.
4. Karyogamy and meiosis occur in the basidium of mushrooms.
5. It produces four haploid basidiospores as a result.
