Solution
With respect to fungal sexual cycle, choose the correct sequence of events meiosis, karyogamy and plasmogamy.
Explanation:
The sexual cycle involves the following three steps:
1. Fusion of protoplasms between two motile or non-motile gametes called plasmogamy.
• Plasmogamy is the fusion of two haploid cells without nuclear fusion.
2. Fusion of two nuclei is called karyogamy.
3. Meiosis in zygote results in haploid spores.
