dikaryon stage result due to ------------------
The dikaryon is a nuclear feature which is unique to some fungi (the alga Derbesia is an exception[1]), in which after plasmogamy the two compatible nuclei of two cells pair off and cohabit without karyogamy within the cells of the hyphae, synchronously dividing so that pairs are maintained in the older cells while newer cells or hyphal tips are also binucleate, i.e. dikaryotic.
