Question : Discuss spore formation in fungi.

Answer»

Solution :SPORE FORMATION. The SPORES in fungi vary in shape. Spores are usually unicellular, thick-walled, spherical. The thick walls provide protection till these come in contact with other surface and can begin to grow. Sometimes the spores may be multicellular also. Sometimes the spores are produced endogenously in special sac-like asexual reproductive bodies called sporangia. Spores in such cases are called sporangiospores. Spores on falling on ground or SUBSTRATUM grow new hypha, e.g., Rhizopus, Mucor and Penicillium.
