In Phycomycetes:
1. Asexual reproduction takes place by zoospores (non-motile) or by aplanospores (motile).
2. These spores are exogenously produced in sporangium.
3. A zygospore is formed by fusion of two gametes; if these gametes are similar in morphology (oogamous) or dissimilar (isogamous)

Phycomycetes - Asexual reproduction takes place by zoospores (motile) or by aplanospores (non-motile). These spores are endogenously produced in sporangium. A zygospore is formed by fusion of two gametes. These gametes are similar in morphology (isogamous) or dissimilar (anisogamous or oogamous).
