Question

Many fungi and bacteria like yeast, Rhizopus and Mucor reproduce through the process of layering.
true or false​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rhizopus is a genus of common saprophytic fungi. Rhizopus reproduce by forming asexual and sexual spores. In asexual reproduction, spores are produced inside a spherical structure, the sporangium. These spores are released out by the bursting of the sporangium. In getting a suitable substratum, the spores germinate and form new individuals. 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'.

Answer 2

The statement is false.

Reason:- Yeasts do not produce spores. Instead, they reproduce asexually by budding. Budding is the pinching off of an offspring from the parent cell. The offspring cell is genetically identical to the parent.

The process of layering happens in plants.
