Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A sexually produced spore that buds from the surface of a gilled fruiting body is called a basidiospore. This is a characteristic feature of the Basidiomycota fungal group, which includes mushrooms and other fungi with gills on the underside of their caps. A zygospore is a sexually produced spore that forms from the fusion of haploid cells in Zygomycota fungi, while an ascospore is produced within an ascus in Ascomycota fungi. A sporangiophore is a specialized structure that produces spores in some types of fungi, and a zoospore is a motile, asexual spore that swims using one or more flagella.
