Question

Fungal spores produced asexually at the tips of hyphae are called as

• A. Sporangiophores
• B. Endospores
• C. Conidia
• D. Meiospores

Answer 1

The correct option is C Conidia

• In fungi, conidium is a reproductive spore aiding in asexual reproduction. Conidiophores are produced on filaments of the fungi (hyphae) and these spores get detached as they mature.
• A sporangiophore is a fungal hypha bearing one or more sporangia containing spores.
• An endospore is an asexual spore formed inside the bacterial cell.
• Meiospore is haploid spore formed in angiosperms as a result of meiosis.
• Thus, the correct answer is option C.
