d. fungi haploid nuclei from two parent fungi fuse together.

Answer 1

In the fungal life cycle, karyogamy results in D. fungi haploid nuclei from two parent fungi fuse together

Step-by-step explanation:

Karyogamy has an important role in sexual reproduction. It is the last step in the process of fusing together two haploid eukaryotic cells, and refers specifically to the fusion of the two nuclei. This is the steps that usually follows the Plasmogamy stage. This step is part of the sexual reproduction of fungi too. Karyogamy is key because it helps recombine two different genetic material.
