Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The fungus produces spores either by sexual reproduction or by asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction includes the production of spores known as conidia. In some fungi asexual reproduction is takes place by means of budding or fission, and multicellular fungai detaches the hyphae from mycelium, which later grows into a separate individual. Whereas sexual reproduction includes fusion of two gametes.

Some anti-fungal medications work by blocking DNA synthesis in the fungal cell. Describe where in the cell cycle such a medication would halt the fungal cell . and the consequences of this early termination of the cycle
When fungal hyphae meet in sexual mating, they first fuse their cytoplasms, and then later undergo   a. Plasmogamy b. Karyogamy c. Cytogamy d. Ribosogamy e. Chomosogamy
Fungi can propagate themselves successfully with their millions of asexual spores. That being the case,why is the production of sexual spores necessary?
