Q

Define zygotic meiosis

A

part of a fungi’s sexual life cycle where the organism exists for more of the time as a multicellular, haploid organism.

  • at some point in the haploid phase, gametes are produced by mitosis
  • the diploid zygote undergoes a meiotic division and haploid spores are the result.
  • these spores germinate to produce a new multicellular

Q

Explain gametic meiosis

A

1) multicellular diploid individual undergoes meiosis
2) gametes are formed (haploid), which undergo syngamy
3) a zygote is formed (diploid), which undergoes mitosis
4) a multicellular diploid individual is formed
