Question

Spore itself is an Asexual unicellular reproductive unit . then why we say sexual spores and asexual spores in case of fungi what is the meaning behind sexual spores and asexual spores

Answer 1

Spores can be part of asexual or sexual reproductive cycles, and are sometimes borne by multicellular sporocarps.
Asexual spores include sporangiospores and conidia, whereas sexual spores include zygospores, ascospores and basidiospores.
In plants and fungi, sexual spores are the haploid cells produced by meiosis. (2) In fungi, asexual spores are somatic cells that are cast off to act either as gametes or as the initial cells for new haploid individuals.
Sexual spores are basically those formed as a result of conjugation of gametes or nuclei (such as zygospore, ascospore, basidiospore) of opposite sex.
