Question

How will the organisms be benefitted if it reproduces through spores?

Answer 1

2. Spore formation is the means of asexual reproduction in fungi.
3. For example, Rhizopus (bread mold).
4. Formation of spores is known as sporulation.

Benefits of reproduction through spore formation:

1. The organisms do not need male and female reproductive organs.
