Question : What happens when : On maturation sporangia of Rhizopus bursts? |
Answer» SOLUTION :In many fungi, like Rhizopus, spore formation takes place in spore sacs called sporangia. These spores, being thick walled, survive harsh conditions and can GROW into a complete organism under favourable conditions. Spore formation is the most common method of asexual REPRODUCTION seen in fungi and bacteria. During spore formation, a structure called sporangium develops from the fungal hyphae. The nucleus divides SEVERAL times within the sporangium and each nucleus with a bit of cytoplasm, develops into a spore. The spores are liberated and they DEVELOP into new hyphae after reaching the ground. e.g., Rhizopus, Mucor and Penicillium. |
