Do Ascomycota Reproduce Sexually?

Ascomycota are septate fungi with the filaments partitioned by cellular cross-walls called septa. Ascomycetes produce sexual spores, called axcospores, formed in sac-like structures called asci, and also small asexual spores called conidia. Some species of Ascomycota are asexual and do not form asci or ascospores.
