Question

True or False: Fungi have a diploid lifecycle

Answer 1

False. Fungi generally have a life cycle that includes both haploid and diploid stages, but they primarily exist in a haploid state for most of their life cycle. The diploid stage is typically short-lived and occurs after the fusion of haploid cells during sexual reproduction. In many fungi, the diploid phase quickly undergoes meiosis to return to the haploid state.
