Question

    Which method involves the fusion of two naked gametes,

    one of which must be motile, and is common in aquatic fungi?
    A Planogametic copulation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Gametangial contact Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Somatogamy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Gametangial copulation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Planogametic copulation is a method observed in some lower fungi and is characterized by the direct fusion of motile gametes in a water-based environment. The resulting zygote undergoes subsequent stages of development, contributing to the fungal life cycle and the production of new generations.
