Fungi sexual cycle proceeds through three steps. Identify the CORRECT sequence.
AMeiosis → Plasmogamy → Karyogamy
BPlasmogamy → Karyogamy → Meiosis (in zygote producing haploid spores)
CKaryogamy → Plasmogamy → Meiosis
DPlasmogamy → Meiosis → Karyogamy
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Plasmogamy → Karyogamy → Meiosis (in zygote producing haploid spores)
(i) Plasmogamy (fusion of protoplasms) → (ii) Karyogamy (fusion of nuclei) → (iii) Meiosis in zygote producing haploid spores. Between plasmogamy and karyogamy, some fungi pass through a dikaryotic (n+n) phase.
