You give a good overview of sexual and asexual reproduction in fungi. However, which one is more advantageous? and if one is more advantageous... why would the fungi use both types of replications? Again, your prompt is fair, but it is quite uncertain if you are telling which are favorable conditions and why... you do tell us that genetic variation is only possible under unfavorable circumstances. However, is this strategy due to evolution and fitness? or is it just because of circumstances given under the chance factor?
