Asexual reproduction occurs through spore generation. This method necessitates the use of spores, which are reproductive cells capable of forming a new plant without fusing with any other cell.
Gametes may therefore be distinguished from these spores, which must absolutely merge with another gamete in order to reproduce.
Spore formation is a kind of reproduction in which the reproductive bodies known as spores are contained in a sac known as the sporangia.
Bacillus subtilis produces a multilayered, robust, and protective endospore that is resistant to desiccation. Endospore surface contacts are also determined by the multilayered coat.
