| 11. | The zygosporangium typically contains a single zygospore.
|
| 12. | The zygospores produced are naked with equatorial rings whose suspensors are opposed and lack appendages.
|
| 13. | Meiosis usually occurs before zygospore germination and there are a few main types of distinguishable nuclear behavior.
|
| 14. | In sexual reproduction, a dark zygospore is produced at the point where two compatible mycelia fuse.
|
| 15. | However, if zygospores are found, they strongly resemble " Mucor "-zygospores.
|
| 16. | However, if zygospores are found, they strongly resemble " Mucor "-zygospores.
|
| 17. | Once conditions have improved the zygospore germinates and undergoes meiosis to produce haploid offspring of both mating types.
|
| 18. | As the zygospore enlarges, so do the warty structures until there are contiguous around the entire cell.
|
| 19. | This release is then followed by protoplast fusion ( conjugation ) leading to formation of a diploid zygospore.
|
| 20. | The gametangium develops into a zygospore, a thick-walled spore formed by the union of gametes.
