Answer:

+ and -

Step-by-step explanation:

Sexual reproduction occurs when the hyphae of two different strains meet and merge. For this to happen the two strains must be compatible, they are designated as + and -.

When these are found, two cells are formed in the apical region that are called gametangios, one of them contains + nuclei and the other -, when fused they will form diploid nuclei that will produce the zygote.
