Question

The mode of reproduction connected with the fazzy, greyish growth on bread is-
(a) budding
(b) spore formation
(c) binary fission
(d) vegetative reproduction

Answer 1

Answer:

b) spore formation

Explanation:

The mode of reproduction connected with the fuzzy, greyish growth on bread is mold which is a kind of fungi.

• Mold spores float freely in the atmosphere and are found everywhere.
• molds grow best in places where air circulation is not good and it is dark. The temperature should not be very cold.
• The spores find a suitable place where they germinate by forming roots called hyphae.
• The hyphae absorb nutrients the fungi to mature.
• Fruiting structure called sporangium develops which produces several spores into the surrounding. Thus mold formation takes place.

Answer 2

Spore Formation

Explanation:

The fuzzy, greyish growth on bread is called mold. Mold is a fungi. Mold spores float freely in the atmosphere and are found everywhere. When the mold falls on a food material with suitable environmental conditions like damp, dark and warm, it proliferates. The spores will then germinate by forming roots called hyphae, which helps absorb nutrients for the fungi to mature. The mature fungi will in turn reproduce through spore formation and thus spread to other regions.
