Statement I: | The sexual cycle in fungi chronologically involves karyogamy, followed by meiosis in zygote and lastly plasmogamy. |
Statement II: | In fungi, other than ascomycetes and basidiomycetes, a condition called as dikaryon and a phase called as dikaryophase is seen. |
I. | Mycelium is aseptate and coenocytic. |
II. | Asexual reproduction takes place by zoospores (motile) or by aplanospores (non-motile). |
III. | Asexual spores are exogenously produced on the sporangium. |
