Describe the steps of sexual reproduction in fungi.

(N/A) Sexual reproduction in fungi involves three distinct stages:
$1$. Plasmogamy: This is the fusion of protoplasm between two motile or non-motile gametes. It brings two haploid nuclei together in the same cell.
$2$. Karyogamy: This is the fusion of two nuclei,which results in the formation of a diploid zygote $(2n)$.
$3$. Meiosis: The diploid zygote undergoes meiosis to produce haploid spores,which then germinate to form new fungal mycelia.
