1. In fungi, the sexual fusion of haploid cells is called karyogamy . 2. The recombination associated with karyogamy may primarily function to repair DNA damage. 3. The result of karyogamy is a diploid cell called a zygote or zygospore. 4. Karyogamy , which is the fusion of the nuclei, follows closely after.5. The pronuclei then fuse together in a well regulated process known as karyogamy . 6. Plasmogamy between compatible individuals leads to delayed karyogamy leading to establishment of a dikaryon. 7. Karyogamy in the asci is followed immediately by meiosis and the production of ascospores.8. The ploidy levels and karyogamy events are only theorized and have yet to be proven. 9. The unlike nuclei fuse ( karyogamy ) to form a diploid ( zygote ) nucleus. 10. The paired dikaryon in the basidium fuse ( i . e . karyogamy takes place ).
