Vedclass · Answer

(A) In fungi,the fusion of two haploid cells immediately results in diploid cells $(2n)$ in most groups.However,in members of $Ascomycetes$ and $Basidiomycetes$,an intervening dikaryotic stage ($n + n$,i.e.,two nuclei per cell) occurs.This condition is called a dikaryon,and the phase is known as the dikaryophase.Eventually,the nuclei fuse to form a diploid zygote,followed by meiosis to produce haploid spores.Therefore,dikaryon formation is characteristic of $Ascomycetes$ and $Basidiomycetes$.
