Figure 24.14 Which of the following statements is true?
- A dikaryotic ascus that forms in the ascocarp undergoes karyogamy, meiosis, and mitosis to form eight ascospores.

Introduction:
Among fungi, Asus is found as the sac-like structure, which contains the haploid structures known as ascospores. These filamentous ascomycetes from the hyphae, which are divided by the septa. These hyphae allow streaming of cytoplasmic matrix from one cell to another.
Answer to Problem 1VCQ
Correct answer:
The correct answer is an option (a).
Explanation of Solution
Explanation for the correct answer:
Option (a)- Dikaryotic hyphae are produced, in which two haploid nuclei. These dikaryotichyphae can be homo or heterokaryotic. In each cell, two haploid nuclei fuse in the process of karyogamy and result in the diploid nucleus, then undergo meiosis and led to the ascospore formation. After the formation, the ascospores germinate and form hyphae.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (b)- A diploid ascus does not undergo karyogamy, meiosis,and mitosis to form the eight ascospores because only dikaryotic undergo karyogamy. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option (c)- In the same way, a haploid zygote does not undergo the karyogamy, meiosis,andmitosis. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option (d)- A dikaryotic ascus only formed by the process of karyogamy not by the plasmogamy meiosis and mitosis to form eight ascospores. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Dikaryotic hyphae are produced in which two haploid nuclei with the help of karyogamy, not by the plasmogamy. Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

However, a SNP in the position shown in gray (right) would prevent cleavage at this site by EcoRI One of the SNPs in B. rapa is found within the Park14 locus and can be detected by RFLP analysis. The CT polymorphism is found in the intron of the Bra013780 gene found on Chromosome 1. The Park14 allele with the "C" in the SNP has two EcoRI sites and thus is cleaved twice by EcoRI If there is a "T" in that SNP, one of the EcoRI sites is altered, so the Park14 allele with the T in the SNP has only one EcoRI site (Fig. 5-3).
