Solution

  • Bread mould (Rhizopus fungus) reproduces by the method called ‘spore formation’.
  • Spores are formed inside a sporangium which burst open and germinate to form new organisms.
  • It is an asexual method of reproduction.
  • In spore formation gamete formation is not involved and only one parent organism can give rise to multiple daughter organisms.
