Read the following passage and then choose the best title for this passage. When hyphae from two fungi come in contact, a structure called a zygosporangium forms at the point where the hyphae touch. Inside this structure, the genetic material from each organism combines to form a zygospore. New complete organisms with a combination of the parental genetics can be formed from a single zygospore.

Answer:

The Sexual Reproduction Cycle for Zygomycetes

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage described the sexual reproduction cycle of a group of fungi known as Zygomycetes (Zygomycota).

Hypha of different mating types from come together to form gamentagia with haploid nuclei. The gametangia then undergo plasmogamy, that is, the fusion of cytoplasms (excluding the nuclei) to form the zygosporangium.

The zygosporangium then undergo karyogamy, that is, the fusion of nuclei to form a structure with diploid nucleus. The structure then undergo meiosis to produce the spores.

Mature zygosporangium releases spores which then germinate to give rise to different mycelia with different mating types.
