MIC 121 Characteristics and Structure of Fungi Objective Question

Question

In gametangial contact, how do male gametes migrate into the female gametangium?
Options
A Through spores
B Via a fertilization tube
Correct Answer
C By fission
D Through budding
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

During gametangial contact, the gamete-bearing structures (gametangia) come close, and a fertilization tube develops. The male gamete then migrates through this tube into the female gametangium. This is a specific mechanism of sexual reproduction in certain fungi.

Hint

Think of a physical connection forming between the structures.
