2)heterokaryotic cells
3)dikaryotic cells
4)cells with two diploid nuclei

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plasmogamy is the fusion of two haploid cells to form a single cell with two haploid nuclei. In fungi, this can lead to the formation of heterokaryotic cells that contain two or more genetically different nuclei from different individuals. As the nuclei do not fuse, they remain separate and do not combine to form a diploid nucleus immediately. The resulting cells are called dikaryotic cells, which means they contain two different haploid nuclei in the same cell. Hence, plasmogamy can directly result in the formation of heterokaryotic or dikaryotic cells.
