In this question, we're asked, what makes the life cycle of multicellular fungi so unique compared to that of other multicellular eukaryotes? well, one, you know, and i think the most sort of unique aspect of multicellular fungi.
00:16
Of course, fungus, fungi as a kingdom has numerous discrepancies between itself and any of the other kingdoms.
00:22
However, i think what this question is getting at in terms of its life cycle is going to be the haploid dominance of the fungal.
00:31
Life cycle.
00:33
So generally speaking, multicellular eukaryotic organisms are all diploid for the vast majority of their lifespans.

Think about the human being, for instance, all of the cells in your body, except for your reproductive gametes, whether it be your sperms or eggs, depending on your biological sex, is going to be diploid, meaning that you have two pairs of every single gene.

However, your sperm cells and your egg cells, those are going to be haploid, of course...
