Students have asked these similar questions
The Zygomycetes (bread molds) are a coenocytic fungus. This means that;
Their hyphae lack crosswalls
They only reproduce sexually
They reproduce using conidia
They have heterokaryotic hyphae
Rhizopus (bread mold) reproduces both sexually and asexually.
Rhizopus' sexual reproductive structure is called?
Conidia
The zygosporagium
The ascus
Fusion of cytoplasm which happens when two hyphae of genetically
compatible mating types come together during sexual reproduction, is
called: *
O zygote formation
O karyogamy
none is correct
plasmogamy
fertilization

In effect, the dikaryon is neither diploid nor haploid. Dikaryotic hyphae often have characteristics that are different from those of their n or 2n products.
