What is not true regarding sexual reproduction in basidiomycetes?

1.  Sex organs are well developed
2.  Plasmogamy is brought about by fusion of two vegetative or somatic cells of different strains or genotypes
3.  Karyogamy and meiosis take place in basidium, producing four basidiospores
4.  Basidiospores are produced exogenously on the basidium
