A
- Budding
2. Spore formation
6

A fungal cell grows out of an existing fungal cell unit distinct
7

Spore formation
A
Produced by mitosis, spores will germimate under favorable conditions to become active
8

- two haploid gametes fuse into one cell. That cell has two nuclei so its called a DIKARYON
- those nuclei will then fuse into one nucleus making a diploid zygote
- zygote undergoes meiosis
9
Q

A
They are haploid and they make haploid gametes
10
