What is the type of fungi in which a sexual phase has not been observed?

Deuteromycetes is the informal name given to fungi in which a sexual phase has not been observed. These fungi are characterized by their asexual reproduction methods and lack of a known sexual reproductive stage.


Why does sexual reproduction result in more genetic variation in a species than asexual reproduction?

In asexual reproduction there are 2 daughter cells produced that are identical to the parent cell. In sexual reproduction there are 4 genetically different daughter cells produced that are haploid (23 chromosomes). Crossing over occurs during meiosis which mixes up segments of DNA on homologous chromosomes causing new genetic variations. By the sperm fertilizing the egg, you are combining 2 completely different sets of different haploid DNA to produce a diploid offspring which is genetically different from both parents.


What is the name for sexual reproduction in bacteria occur?

Sexual reproduction in bacteria occurs through a process called conjugation. During conjugation, genetic material is transferred between two bacterial cells through a conjugation bridge, allowing for genetic variation and diversity.
