Question

What is Basidiospres ?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

A basidiospore is a reproductive spore produced by Basidiomycete fungi, a grouping that includes mushrooms, shelf fungi, rusts, and smuts. Basidiospores typically each contain one haploid nucleus that is the product of meiosis, and they are produced by specialized fungal cells called basidia. Typically, four basidiospores develop on appendages from each basidium, out of these 2 are of one strain and other 2 of its opposite strain. In gills under a cap of one common species, there exist millions of basidia. Some gilled mushrooms in the order Agaricales have the ability to release billions of spores.

Answer 2

Explanation:

$\sf \purple{answer}$

• A sexually produced fungal spore borneon a basidium in the fungi known as basidiomycetes.

• Basidiospores are produced by the union of the nuclei at the tip of a binucleated segment of a hypha.

• The resulting zygote then divides by meiosis into four haploid nuclei, each of which migrates to the very tip to be released as a basidiospore.

• A typical mushroom produces billions of basidiospores.
