Question

29. Illustrate the following with the help of suitable diagrams: (3)
(i) Spore formation in Rhizopus.
(ii) Multiple fission in Plasmodium.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Rhizopus is a fungus that reproduces by spore formation. The fungal hyphae give rise to a globular structure known as sporangium. This sporangium gives rise to several spores by repetitive division of its nucleus. Each nucleus gets surrounded by a part of cytoplasm and, thus, develops into a spore.
