Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Bread mold, mushrooms, mosses, and ferns reproduce by which method of asexual reproduction?
A
Sporulation
B
Budding
C
Binary fission
D
Vegetative propagation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Organisms like fungi reproduce by producing spores that germinate under favourable conditions to form new organisms. For example, bread mould, mushroom, mosses and ferns.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: Bread mould reproduces asexually by spore formation.

Detailed explanation-3: -(1) Asexual sporulation, whereby adult organisms produce single-celled diploid spores that grow into adults themselves. (2) Sexual sporulation, whereby adult organisms produce single-celled diploid spores that divide into haploid gametes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer : Fungi reproduce through spore formation; for e.g., bread moulds.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fungi, moss and fern all three reproduce by a common method of asexual reproduction which is called spore formation. Spore formation occurs in non-flowering plants. Spore are minute structures that are produced by the parent plant and are released into the air.
