Question

Explain the process of sexual reproduction in Rhizopus

Answer 1

Explanation:

Rhizopus species grow as filamentous, branching hyphae that generally lack cross-walls (i.e., they are coenocytic). They reproduce by forming asexual and sexual spores. ... In sexual reproduction, a dark zygospore is produced at the point where two compatible mycelia fuse.

Answer 2

saprophytic fungi on plants and specialized parasites on animals. Rhizopus produce by forming asexual and sexual spores. In a sexual reproduction, sporangiopores are produced inside a spherical structure, the sporangium. In sexual reproduction, a dark zygospore is produced at the point where two compatible mycelia fuse.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B), 'Spore formation'.
