... cycle. Distinct to the phylum zygomycota, is the formation of a temporary reproductive structure called the zygosporangium. In plants, meiosis occurs inside sporangia that are permanent structures, and then continue on to divide by mitosis. Both kingdoms produce diploid zygotes, but plants' zygotes produce a diploid sporophyte, and zygomycetes produce haploid hyphae. 2. Fungi have traditionally been included in the plant kingdom, but there are enough significant ... compositioin of their cell walls. Fungi's cell walls are composed of chitin, while plants' have cellulose making up their ...

... more complicated. Eukaryotic cells also reproduce sexually through Meiosis in more developed (higher on the evolutionary scale) plants and animals. During, the sexual type of cell division called Meiosis special cells called gametes (eggs and sperm) come together to create a finished product called a zygote (fetus). (Solomon et al 2002). The main differences between Meiosis and Mitosis is that one is a form of replication ... without sexual contact and the other is a blending of chromosomes through the sexual process. When a cell divides by Mitosis, it makes an exact copy of its DNA and ...
