e.) spores are hapliod

f.) plasmogamy produces heterokaryotic cells.

There can be multiple correct answers.

Answer 1

Correct answers are - a.) plasmogamy occurs before karyogamy. e.) spores are haploid f.) plasmogamy produces heterokaryotic cells

Fungeal life cycle tokaryotic Stage & Sporting Spore producing structure ermination ① x Sexual reproduction ② Asertal Reporduction During plasmagamy two haploid cells fuse, leading dikaryotic stage where two haploid nuclei coexist in a singal cell. During Karyogamy the haploid nuclei fuse to form a diploid zygote nucleus. Next meiosis take place at et and produce spores.
