The correct answer is:

Plasmogamy: The fusion of the protoplasm (cytoplasm) of two compatible haploid mating types (gametes or hyphae), bringing two nuclei close together.

Karyogamy: The fusion of the two haploid nuclei within the same cell to form a diploid zygote nucleus (2n).

Meiosis: The diploid zygote undergoes meiosis (reduction division) to produce haploid spores (n), which can germinate into new mycelia.
