Which of the following statements about sexual reproduction in fungi is false?
Select one:
a. Motile gametes are present in all fungal species.
b. An aquatic environment is not required for fertilization to occur in most fungi.
c. There is no true diploid tissue in the life cycle of most sexually reproducing fungi.
d. Sexual reproduction often begins with contact between hyphae of different mating types.
e. Alternation of generations and sexual reproduction can occur in the same species.
In the above all statements the false statement is-
Motile gametes are present in all fungal species. Motile gametes are known as plano gametes. Some primitive fungal species produces it.
In case of fungal sexual reproduction the gametes are always haploid (n) they become diploid(2n) after fusion. One gamete is male gamete and the other is female. The gametes may be morphologically same or different. Sexual reproduction also began with hyphae contact.
