Which of the following sequences accurately represents the order of major events in the life cycle of a mushroom-forming basidiomycete, starting from the fusion of two haploid mycelia?

  • A: Plasmogamy → Meiosis → Karyogamy
  • B: Karyogamy → Plasmogamy → Meiosis
  • C: Plasmogamy → Karyogamy → Meiosis
  • D: Meiosis → Karyogamy → Plasmogamy

Explanation

The life cycle begins with plasmogamy fusion of cytoplasm , followed by karyogamy fusion of nuclei , and then meiosis to produce haploid spores.
