Figure 11.9If a mutation occurs so that a fungus is no longer able to produce a minus mating type, will it still be able to reproduce?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Yes, they are able to reproduce by an asexual mode of reproduction.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Introduction

A mutation is a rare and random inheritable variation or alternation in the structure of genetic material in the genotype of an organism that is caused by some mutants.

02

Step 2. Explanation

Mating types refer to the microorganisms equivalent to sexes in multicellular forms and are considered to be the ancestors of distinct sexes. If there is a mutation and the fungus is no longer to produce by minus mating type then they still are able to reproduce by asexual means.
