The asexual reproduction in
Introduction:
Fungi replicate in various forms. Many fungi reproduce both sexually and asexually. Asexual reproduction requires only one parent while the involvement of two parents is a necessity of sexual reproduction. New species that are genetically identical with the parent are created by asexual reproduction. That is why, they have precisely the same genes.

What is the sexual reproductin of fungi?
Fungi tend to reproduce sexually when nutrients are limited or other conditions are unfavorable, but they reproduce asexually in more ideal conditions. Why is this strategy successful?
Fungi can propagate themselves successfully with their millions of asexual spores. That being the case,why is the production of sexual spores necessary?

- Why do you think that the fungal sexual reproduction occurs under extreme conditions only? Why not at all times since sexual replication would benefit the gene pool better? what do you think? Original and simple answer please thank you :)arrow_forwardSome fungi can be viewed as coenocytic organisms that exhibit little differentiation. When differentiation does occur, such as in the formation of reproductive structures, it is preceded by septum formation.

In terrestrial fungi, reproduction occurs in three stages. One stage, depicted in part A of the figure above, is termed point each cell is First, days, months, or years, the Another stage, depicted in part B of the figure above, is termed stage takes its name from the term for a hypha that each cell is C at which 20 hyphae pair up. Sometimes immediately, other times after hyphae make contact and fuse... This at which point Upon fusion, the hyphae are at the stage represented by part C of the figure above, stage, at which point each cell is termed the Reset *arrow_forwardSome fungi exhibit dimorphism, i.e. they can exist in both yeast and mold form.
