Question

Which of the following is a cell type associated with sexual reproduction in fungi?
A) sporangiospore
B) dikaryon
C) haustoria
D) pneumocyst
E) mycorrhiza

Accepted Answer

Dikaryon is a cell type associated with sexual reproduction in fungi. Dikaryon is a cell in which the paired nuclei resulting from the fusion of two haploid cells remain separate from one another. This is a key step in the sexual reproduction of many fungi. Sporangiospore is a type of asexual spore, haustoria is a specialized structure of some fungi used to absorb nutrients from their host, pneumocyst is a type of fungal infection that affects the lungs of humans, and mycorrhiza is a symbiotic relationship between fungi and plant roots.
