Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B

Explanation:

Meiosis is a way of cell division used by the organism to produce a large number of cells from a few parent cells. This is used to make the gametes of the body.

Meiosis produces four daughter cells from a single parent cell in two stages that is meiosis I and II. Each stage proceeds in four phases- prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

The reduction division of the chromosomes or the ploidy number takes place during anaphase I of meiosis I and not prophase I which is the initial phase of the division. Therefore, during prophase I the chromosome number of the cell remains the same.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

Answer:

Asexual reproduction occurs in fungi by budding, spore formation and fragmentation.

sexual reproduction occurs in fungi by fusion of two gametes to produce a zygospore.

Explanation:

Fungi reproduces both sexually and asexually in-other to allow them adapt to any environmental conditions.

ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

 Almost all fungi reproduce asexually by spore formation. a single parent fungi produces spores that are genetically identical  to itself. the  spore produced can then develop into new fungi without fertilization.

SEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Sexual reproduction in fungi occurs when two haploid gamete fuse together to produce a Zygospore. zygospore is always genetically different from parent.

Not knowing what the choice of conditions is, I would say that it would be very damp conditions on land, and if the plant photosynthesises it would be good because of 'purer' sunlight. but if show what the choice of conditions are I can give you a more accurate answer (hopefully)
