Q. Which of the following in the correct sequence of three steps in the sexual cycle of fungi?
A) Mitosis $\rightarrow$ fusion of two nuclei $\rightarrow$ meiosis
B) Meiosis $\rightarrow$ fusion of two nuclei $\rightarrow$ fusion of protoplasms
C) Fusion of two nuclei $\rightarrow$ meiosis $\rightarrow$ fusion of protoplasm
D) Fusion of protoplasm$\rightarrow$ fusion of two nuclei $\rightarrow$ meiosis
Explanation
Fusion of protoplasms $\rightarrow$ Fusion of two nuclei $\rightarrow$ Meiosis The sexual reproduction in fungi completes in three phases (i) Plasmogamy (ii) Karyogamy (iii) Meiosis Fusion of protoplasms between two motile or non-motile gametes is called plasmogamy Fusion of two nuclei is called karyogamy Meiosis in zygote results in the formation of haploid spores
