- Fill in the spaces with one of the following terms: haploid, diploid or dikaryotic: The gills of a mushroom are _______________ . When the mushroom is first formed, a basidium is _______________ . Following karyogamy, a basidium is _______________.The basidium then undergoes meiosis, which produces _______________ spores.arrow_forwardMost eukaryotic organisms use sexual reproduction as their primary means of perpetuating their species. Gametes are formed via meiosis. However, some species primarily reproduce via asexual means. Reproduction is accomplished via mitosis. Aspen trees most commonly reproduce by such asexual methods of cloning.What are the advantages and disadvantages of reproduction by asexual means? Why do some species reproduce in this manner? Why don't all species?arrow_forwardWhen the Ascomycetes fungus reproduces sexually, mating type A fungi cross fertilize mating type a fungi. The resulting zygotes undergo meiotic and then mitotic division to produce asci with eight ascospores. The ascospores in the asci are ordered and reflect the position of the parental nuclei in the zygote. Use the passage to answer the question.
