D) Karyogamy
E) Meiosis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Formation of conidia is a means of asexual reproduction in fungi and does not involve the mixing of genetic material from different individuals, hence it does not contribute to maintaining genetic diversity within a fungal population. The other options (mating types, plasmogamy, karyogamy, and meiosis) are all involved in sexual reproduction and genetic recombination, which are important mechanisms for maintaining genetic diversity within a fungal population.
