Reproductive hyphae are called gametangia .
because it makes a big fat circle
Sexual reproduction in fungi usually involves two different mating types. Because gametes of both mating types are about the same size, they are not called male and female. Rather, one mating type is called "+" (plus) and the other "−" (minus). When hyphae of opposite mating types meet, they start the process of sexual reproduction by fusing, bringing plus and minus nuclei together in the same cell. After a period of growth and development, these nuclei form a diploid zygote nucleus. In most fungi, the diploid zygote then enters meiosis, completing the sexual phase of its life cycle by producing haploid spores. Like the spores produced asexually, these spores are also capable of growing, by repeated rounds of mitosis, into new organisms.
Zygomycota produces zygospores, which germinate into new hyphae when conditions are favorable. Zygospores are the resting spores formed through sexual reproduction in Zygomycota fungi, allowing for genetic recombination and adaptation.
The union of cells from two parents is called fertilization. This process involves the fusion of the egg cell from the female parent and the sperm cell from the male parent, leading to the formation of a new organism with a unique set of genetic characteristics.
1. Multinucleate hyphae w/o septa (except in reproduction structures). 2. Fusion of hyphae leads directly to zygote formation in the zygosporangium. 3. Zygote meiosis occurs just before germination. 4. Most common type of reproduction is asexual.
Fragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction in fungi where pieces of hyphae from the mycelium can grow into new mycelia. This process allows fungi to rapidly reproduce and spread in their environment without the need for sexual reproduction.
The three specialized types of hyphae in the life cycle of a Zygomycete are: 1) vegetative hyphae responsible for nutrient absorption, 2) aerial hyphae involved in reproduction and dispersal of spores, and 3) zygospores formed by the fusion of specialized hyphae from different mating types during sexual reproduction.

Sexual reproduction in Mucor involves the fusion of haploid hyphae from different mating types to form zygospores. This process typically occurs under favorable conditions and involves the exchange and fusion of genetic material. The zygospores eventually germinate to produce new haploid individuals.
Zygomycota produces zygospores, which germinate into new hyphae when conditions are favorable. Zygospores are the resting spores formed through sexual reproduction in Zygomycota fungi, allowing for genetic recombination and adaptation.
In the ascocarp, the two types of hyphae are the filamentous vegetative hyphae, which provide structural support and nutrient absorption, and the specialized reproductive hyphae called asci, which contain the sexual spores (ascospores). Asci are typically arranged in a specific structure within the ascocarp called the hymenium, where they release the ascospores.
mitosis and the sexual reproduction of cells are called meiosis
Fission.

Gametes involve sexual reproduction.The male gamete in animals are called sperm and the female gamete in animal are called ovum or egg.
There are two types of reproduction in organic lifeforms: sexual and asexual. Animals undergo sexual reproduction, which assumes two organisms procreating to produce an offspring of shared genetic material.Asexual reproduction, aka fission, spore formation, regeneration, and vegetative reproduction, produces an offspring genetically identical to its single parent -- it's also called "budding" or "sporing."Sexual reproduction produces offspring that is new and unique from the parent organisms -- as it is a combination (not a clone) of the parent genetics.Hope that helps.
