Imagine that sexual reproduction could occur between hyphae that were the same mating type. How might this affect rates of evolution in fungi?
A. Rates of evolution would be lower because
genetic variation would be lower.
B. Rates of evolution would be higher
because more novel genetic combinations
are generated through sexual reproduction.
C. Rates of evolution would stay the same
because as long as sexual reproduction is
occurring, it does not matter if it is between
individuals of the same or different mating
type.
