Detailed explanation-1: -Fungi are a diverse group of organisms with a huge variation in reproductive strategy. While almost all species can reproduce sexually, many reproduce asexually most of the time.
Detailed explanation-2: -Perfect fungi reproduce both sexually and asexually, while imperfect fungi reproduce only asexually (by mitosis). In both sexual and asexual reproduction, fungi produce spores that disperse from the parent organism by either floating on the wind or hitching a ride on an animal.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sexually reproducing fungi may combine by fusing their hyphae together into an interconnected network called anastomosis. Sexual reproduction begins when the haploid hyphae from two fungal organisms meet and join. Although the cytoplasm from each fuse together, the nuclei remain separate.
Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction Some yeasts, which are single-celled fungi, reproduce by simple cell division, or fission, in which one cell undergoes nuclear division and splits into two daughter cells; after some growth, these cells divide, and eventually a population of cells forms.
