Give typed full explanation
Which of the following statements is TRUE for the labeled structures? (Choose all the correct answers)
a. The structures labeled with the letter a are genetically identical to each other.
b. The structure labeled with the letter b is the gametophyte.
c. The structures labeled with the letter c (the sperm produced by one antheridium) are genetically different from each other.
d. The structure labeled with the letter d is the sporophyte.
A hypothesized evolutionary advantage to asexual reproduction in fungi is that:
-It allows them to form resting spores
-It protects their genes from mutation
-It allows them to avoid phages
-It allows them to grow quickly when nutrient levels are rich
