Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dikaryotic cells contain two nuclei per cell, each from a different parent. These nuclei are haploid, meaning they have one set of chromosomes, but they are not homologous pairs. This is important in the process of fungal reproduction, as the fusion of two different nuclei leads to genetic diversity in the resulting spores.
