Question

Plasmogamy Is Fusion Of_____.

• A. Sperm and Egg.
• B. Sperm and two polar nuclei.
• C. Two haploid cells without nuclear fusion.
• D. Two haploid cells Including their nuclei.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Two haploid cells without nuclear fusion.

The correct option is C.

The explanation for the correct option:

1. Simultaneous fusion of the protoplasts occurs in plasmogamy, bringing around each other two compatible nuclei inside the same cell.
2. This pair of nuclei is known as a dikaryon, and the resulting cell is bi-nucleate.
3. As a result, there is a fusion of haploid cells but no nuclear fusion.

Final answer: Plasmogamy Is the fusion of two haploid cells without nuclear fusion.
