When there are two haploid nuclei per cell in some fungi before the formation of diploid, this stage is called
A
diplotene
B
diplophase
C
dikaryophase
D
dikaryote
Answer
dikaryophase
Explanation
Solution
Sexual reproduction in fungi involves two step, ie, plasmogamy and karyogamy. When two haploid nuclei lie side-by-side in common cytoplasm before the formation of diploid, this stage is called dikaryophase. Diplotene is the sub-stage of prophase-I in meiosis.
