|
|
Spores are the male part of plants which combine with zygotes to form a new organism.
|
|

Detailed explanation-1: -Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes, while the production of spores mainly characterizes asexual reproduction. Spores meaning can be stated as reproductive units or cells that germinate or develop into new individuals without fusion with other reproductive cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction occurs either with vegetative spores or through mycelia fragmentation where the fungal mycelium separates into pieces and each piece then grows into a separate mycelium. Fungi imperfecti and deuteromycota lack an observable sexual cycle.
Detailed explanation-3: -Spore formation is another means of asexual reproduction. During unfavourable conditions, the organism develops sac-like structures called sporangium that contain spores. When the conditions are favourable, the sporangium burst opens and spores are released that germinate to give rise to new organisms.
