In ascomycete fungi, where do the processes of karyogamy and meiosis take place?

a) In the growing hyphae.


b) In the conidia.


c) In the ascus.


d) In the asci and conidia.


e) In the clamp connections.





Please explain your answer!





Thanks





:)In ascomycete fungi, where do the processes of karyogamy and meiosis take place?
well karyogamy and meiosis takes place in ascus mother cells(2n) this convert the cells into asci(ascus).





ascus mother cells(2n)--%26gt;meiosis%26gt;ascus(n)%26gt;ascospores(鈥?br>




%26gt;so the answer most appropriate would be %26gt;CIn ascomycete fungi, where do the processes of karyogamy and meiosis take place?
They take place in the ascus


The diploid adult usually multiplies by budding in which the nuclei divide by mitosis, but under certain environmental conditions they undergo meiosis to form four monoploid meiospores or ascospores within the old cell wall which now called ascus.
