Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Karyogamy is the process of fusion of haploid nuclei to form a diploid nucleus. This occurs in fungi during the sexual phase of their life cycle. Unlike meiosis I which reduces the chromosome number by half to form haploid cells, karyogamy leads to the fusion of nuclei and an increase in the chromosome number from haploid to diploid.
