What are non-motile fungal spores also known as?(a) Gemmules(b) Nodes(c) Conidia(d) ZoosporesI have been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.This key question is from Organisms in section Reproduction in Organisms of Biology – Class 12

Answer»

The correct option is (c) Conidia

To explain I would say: Conidia are non-motile FUNGAL spores that are produced SINGLY or in chains by constriction of tips of conidiophores and are dispersed by wind. Zoospores are motile fungal spores. Gemmules are REPRODUCTIVE structures of sponges and nodes are just a site on the stem from where the new plant arises in rhizomes (VEGETATIVE propagation).
