Question

Spores produced by the bread mould are actually its seeds . True or false give reasons.

Answer 1

Dear Student!

Your statement is true. Spores are small structures containing a nucleus. They are produced in large numbers and are very light, being easily dispersed by air currents as well as by animals, particularly insects. Being small they have usually small food reserves and grow at places which have suitable condition for germination. They perform functions similar to the seeds. Spores are not exactly seeds but can are comparable and hence your statement is true.
