Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Rhizopus species reproduce asexually through spores.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Rhizopus, asexual reproduction takes place by spores where sporangiospores are produced inside a spherical structure called sporangium. Sexual reproduction in Rhizopus takes place by fusion of multinucleate (gametangia).
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct option is ‘Gametes’.
Detailed explanation-4: -The thread-like structures that develop on the decaying bread are the hyphae of bread mould. These hyphae have tiny blob-on-a-stick like structures known as sporangia which contain numerous spores. Each spore can develop into new rhizopus.
