Question

Spores found in fungi are:

• A. asexual reproductive bodies protected by thick walls
• B. outgrowths from the parent organism
• C. buds formed in a long chain
• D. sexual reproductive bodies covered by a thick wall.

Answer 1

The correct option is A asexual reproductive bodies protected by thick walls

The spores are asexual reproductive bodies found in fungi. Each spore is covered by a hard protective coat to withstand unfavourable conditions such as high temperature and low humidity so that they can survive for a long time. Spores germinate during favourable conditions to give rise to new fungal cells.
