Explain the sexual cycle of Kingdom fungi? Explain double fertilization in angiosperms?
Fungi can reproduce through sexual means. Some of the characteristics of sexually reproducing fungi are − Fungi may be dioecious or unisexual. These dioecious fungi are heterothallic. Fungi may be monoecious or bisexual. These bisexual fungi are homothallic. Gametes are formed within gametangium. Types of sexual reproduction in fungi − Isogamy − Fusing gametes are exactly alike in appearance and functions. Anisogamy − Fusion of dissimilar gametes. In anisogamous forms both male and female gametes are motile. Oogamy − Fusion of small male gamete with female gamete which is large and non-motile. Characteristics of fungal sexual reproduction If sexual reproduction occurs between two gametangia, such a fusion is called conjugation. When gamentangia can be differentiated then male sex organs are called antheridiumand female organs are called oogonium. Sexually fusion of gametes result in the formation of diploid oospores or zygospores.
