Glomeromycota
Zygomycota
Deuteromycota
Basidiomycota
Ascomycota
Describe the life cycle of a member of the Basidiomycota including the following terms/structures: basidiocarp, basidiospore, basidium, clamp connection, dikaryotic, diploid, haploid, karyogamy, meiosis, monokaryotic, plasmogamy, primary mycelium, secondary mycelium, tertiary mycelium.
