Ascocarp contain two haploid nuclei from different parents after undergoing plamogamy. This is a situation unique to fungi, and is defined to be dikaryotic.

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.
A change in ploidy is not always harmful to an organism; it can sometimes be beneficial or neutral. For example, polyploidy, which is the condition of having more than two sets of chromosomes, is common in plants and can lead to increased vigor and adaptability. In some cases, organisms can tolerate or even thrive with changes in ploidy, while in others, it may disrupt normal development and function. Thus, the effects of ploidy changes depend on the specific organism and context.
An ascocarp is the fruiting body of fungi in the phylum Ascomycota. It is a specialized structure that contains the sexual spores called ascospores. Examples of fungi with ascocarps include morel mushrooms and yeast.
An ascoma is an alternative name for an ascocarp, a spirocarp of an ascomycete.

A zygote is a diploid
Human somatic cells are diploid, 2n. Human sex cells are haploid, n. Thus, the ploidy of human cells is 2, while n=23.
The aleurone layer is the outermost layer of the endosperm. Therefore it is also triploid and same as the ploidy of endosperm.
