Which statement about life cycles with a dikaryon stage is false? A zygosporangium results from the fusion of two coenocytic hyphae. In effect, the dikaryon is neither diploid nor haploid. Dikaryotic hyphae often have characteristics that are different from those of their n or 2n products. The only true diploid structure is the zygote. There are no gamete cells, only gamete nuclei.
