Question

Depending on the type of reproduction, offspring can be genetically identical, a clone of their parent, or genetically distinct. Match each form of fungi reproduction to the correct category.

Answer 1

• Offspring are genetically identical to parent-asexual reproduction

Fungi reproduce asexually on different ways such as fragmentation, budding, or producing spores(asexual spores, which are produced by one parentand thus, genetically identical to that parent).

• Offspring genetically distinct-sexual reproduction

Sexual reproduction introduces genetic In fungi, there are two ways(two mating types):both mating types are present in the same mycelium (homothallic) or mycelia require two different mycelia (heterothallic).
