Zygomycete Life Cycle ⑨Zygote produces a sporangium Spores are released from sporangium ⑧Karyogamy and meiosis Spore germinates Sexual reproduction to produce hyphae ⑦Zygospore Aerial hypha forms Sporangiospores produces a sporangium 一Sporangium Sporangiophore 6Plasmogamy ⑤Gamete forms at tip of hypha ④Vegetative mycelium grows Asexual reproduction ③Spore germinates to produce hyphae ②Sporangium bursts to Zygosporangium release containing zygospore spores Figure 12.6 Zygomycete Life Cycle Figure 12.6
