Question

what are spores ?explain in detail

Answer 1

SPORES:

• Spores are reproductive structures which can germinate and give rise to a new life.
• They need not fuse with other reproductive cells.
• Several non flowering plants, fungi, bacteria, protozoa etc produce spores as a means of reproduction.
• Spores are formed both asexually and sexually.
• Spores sometimes are very hard and may survive for years.
• Unlike seeds, spores do not contain any food or resource, thus they are not eaten up by animals or insects.
