Answer:

Asexual reproduction is through the formation of asexual spores. They are produced by one parent only and are genetically identical to that parent (Mitosis).

Sexual reproduction in the fungi has three stages plasmogamy, karyogamy, and meiosis.

Step-by-step explanation:

AR: Spores may be dispersed by moving water, wind, or other organisms. The spores far from the parent organism. This helps to ensure that the offspring will not have to compete with the parent for space or other resources.

SR: Sexual reproduction occurs when spores from two parents fuse and form a zygospore.
