Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Zygosporangia germination involves meiosis to produce haploid spores that can then grow into new hyphae. This is because zygosporangia are diploid structures formed after the fusion of two haploid cells. Meiosis reduces the chromosome number back to haploid, enabling genetic diversity and the continuation of the fungal lifecycle.
