For all plato users-- (A. Fruiting Body)
The structure grown by a pollen grain that contains two sperm nuclei is called the pollen tube. The pollen tube is responsible for delivering the sperm nuclei to the ovule for fertilization in plants.
Plasmogamy is the fusion of cytoplasm from two haploid fungal cells, resulting in the formation of a dikaryotic cell with two separate haploid nuclei. Karyogamy is the fusion of the two haploid nuclei within the dikaryotic cell, leading to the formation of a diploid nucleus, which eventually undergoes meiosis to produce haploid spores.
I am sure it is (3n).This is because In angiosperms most common type of embryo sac formation, there is fusion of 1 sperm nuclei + 2 polar nuclei=triple fusion resulting in a triploid primary endosperm nuclues.
The best evidence to determine whether a cell is diploid or haploid is to examine the number of sets of chromosomes present in the cell. A diploid cell contains two sets of chromosomes (one set from each parent), while a haploid cell contains only one set of chromosomes. This can be confirmed through techniques like karyotyping or flow cytometry.
Egg and sperm cells are haploid because they each contain half the number of chromosomes as a somatic cell (2n). This haploid state allows for the fusion of two haploid gametes during fertilization to restore the diploid chromosome number in the zygote. This ensures genetic diversity in offspring and maintains the correct number of chromosomes in species.
Pollen grains with generative and tube nuclei have two haploid nuclei.

in meiosis, two new haploid sex cells are "born" by the division of two other haploid sex cells. So, at the end, there are 4 nuclei.
The dikaryotic stage in a fungus life cycle is characterized by cells containing two genetically distinct nuclei that are not yet fused. This stage follows the fusion of haploid nuclei from two mating strains but precedes the formation of diploid nuclei through nuclear fusion. Dikaryotic cells are essential for the development of fruiting bodies and sexual reproduction in fungi.
The ploidy of ascocarps is typically diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes. This is because ascocarps are reproductive structures formed during sexual reproduction in fungi, where haploid nuclei from two different mating types fuse to form a diploid zygote.

Phylum Ciliophora
Conviently, the fungus is a member of Basidiomycotina, which is so named for the method of sexual reproduction that occurs. It begins when two compatible haploid hyphae meet. Fusion of the hyphae occurs and gives rise to a dikaryotic hypha (that is it has two haploid nulcei), which grows into a mycelium with each cell having two nuclei. Eventually, the fungus gets a cue that it is time to reproduce. The hyphae begin to differentiate and give rise to fruiting structure you observe on tree trunks. Again, all of cells of this fruiting structure are dikaryotic. The underside of this fruiting structure has pores. These pores are lined with a layer of cells called the hymenium. Within this lining, special cells called basidia arise. It is within the basidia that sexual reproduction is completed. (It can be years, centuries even, between the start and finish of sexual reproduction!) It is within the basidia that the haploid nuclei finally fuse to form a diploid nucleus. This nucleus undergoes meiosis. During meiosis, sexual recombination occurs through the swapping of loci between paired chromosomes and the random segregation of chromosomes (one of each pair) into the two new haploid nuclei. These nuclei may divide mitotically to form more haploid nuclei or they may not. In either case, the new nuclei migrate toward the top of the basidia. There they migrate into buds being produced. These buds mature into the aptly named basidiospores. When mature, they will be forcibly flung toward the center of the pore. Gravity will bring them down and out of the pore where they will catch the wind and be carried to a new habitat. One there, they will grow into new haploid hyphae and start the process all over.
Most ciliates have two nuclei: a macronucleus that contains hundreds of copies of the genome and controls metabolisms, and a single small micronucleus that contains a single copy of the genome and functions in sexual reproduction.

The diploid number of an organism is double its haploid number, therefore the diploid number of a cell with a haploid number of 5 would be 10.
