Formation of a dikaryon – a binucleate cell containing two nuclei from each parent - the 2 nuclei fuse to form a diploid nucleus (zygote).Meiosis important phase which is accompanied with the recombination of the genetic material and the formation of ______ nuclei.

Types of sexual spores: Ascospores: Basidiospores Zygospores Oospores Ascospore In Ascomycetes fungi sexual spores are produced in enlarged and elongated cell sacs called ______.

On the same or distinct hyphae, 2 neighbor cells (ascogonium and antheridium) elongated each other and fused to form ______.

After nucleuses combined, the division of meiosis starts. After 2 or more divisions nucleuses surrounded by thick protection coat. Thus 4 or 8 ______ ascospores will occur.

Basidiospore These sexual spores are found in Basidiomycetes. These spores are also like ascospores but are produced within a club shaped structure known as ______.
