Select the CORRECT sequence of events with respect to the fungal sexual cycle.
Options
- AKaryogamy, plasmogamy and meiosis
- BMeiosis, plasmogamy and karyogamy
- CPlasmogamy, karyogamy and meiosis
- DMeiosis, karyogamy and plasmogamy
Correct answer
C. Plasmogamy, karyogamy and meiosis
Step-by-step solution
Fungi are eukaryotic microorganisms and the study of fungi is called mycology. They are a heterotrophic organism that does not contain chlorophyll and obtains its nutrition by absorption. The sequence of events in the fungal sexual cycle is plasmogamy, karyogamy, and then meiosis. In plasmogamy, the cytoplasm of two cells fuses with each other. In karyogamy, nuclei of two cells fuse with each other result in the formation of the zygote that will be diploid. After the formation of the zygote, meiosis occurs. Meiosis
