Sexual reproduction in fungi is carried out by the fusion of compatible nuclei from two parents of compatible nuclei from two parents at a definite stage in the life cycle. Identify the different types of sexual reproduction occurring in fungi from the given figures and select the given figures and select the correct option

Answer: CSolution: Planogametic copulation (P) involves fusion of gamates.It may be isogamous or heterogamous (anisogamous and oogamous). In gametangial contact (Q) male gametes or nuclei are transferred from antheridium to oogonium through a fertilisation tube.Gametangial copulation (R) is a type of conjugation in which both the types of gametangia fuse directly resulting in the formation of a zygospore.Spermatisation (S) involves the transfer of a small male gamete to the receptive region or trichogyne of the female sex organ.In somatogamy (T), sexual reproduction involves the fusion of two hyphae or mycelia.
