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.

Answer:

In asexual reproduction, fungi reproduce through spore formation, fragmentation and budding.

Some fungi reproduce through spores. Each spore grow into a new organism.

Some fungi reproduce through budding. In budding, bud appears on the body of parent and detached when mature.

Some fungi reproduce through fragmentation, in fragmentation, the body of organisms splits into fragment.

In sexual reproduction, male cell combine with female cell forming a fertile cell. Sexual reproduction occurs only when variation occurs in the environment.
