15 Questions
What is the advantage of asexual reproduction in fungi?
Very fast and produces enormous number of asexual spores
Which method of asexual reproduction involves the pinching off of a part of a yeast cell?
Budding
How do fungi that reproduce sexually produce genetically different haploid spores?
By fusing hyphae of 'plus' and 'minus' mating types
How does fragmentation contribute to asexual reproduction in fungi?
Cells or hyphae break off from the fungus and begin to grow on their own
