  2. Asexual reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_reproduction

    Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes. The offspring that arise by asexual reproduction from either unicellular or multicellular organisms inherit the full set of genes of their single parent and thus the newly created individual is genetically and ...

  3. Spore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spore

    Fungi commonly produce spores during sexual and asexual reproduction. Spores are usually haploid and grow into mature haploid individuals through mitotic division of cells (Urediniospores and Teliospores among rusts are dikaryotic). Dikaryotic cells result from the fusion of two haploid gamete cells. Among sporogenic dikaryotic cells, karyogamy ...

  4. Plant reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproduction

    Asexual reproduction may occur through budding, fragmentation, spore formation, regeneration and vegetative propagation. Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction where the offspring comes from one parent only, thus inheriting the characteristics of the parent.

  5. Sporangium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sporangium

    Spores are formed in the sporangiophore by encasing each haploid nucleus and cytoplasm in a tough outer membrane. During asexual reproduction, these spores are dispersed via wind and germinate into haploid hyphae. [4] Although sexual reproduction in fungi varies between phyla, for some fungi the sporangium plays an indirect role in sexual ...

  6. Sporogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sporogenesis

    Sporogenesis is the production of spores in biology. The term is also used to refer to the process of reproduction via spores. Reproductive spores were found to be formed in eukaryotic organisms, such as plants, algae and fungi, during their normal reproductive life cycle. Dormant spores are formed, for example by certain fungi and algae ...

  7. Autospore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autospore

    Reproduction of Radiococcus and Tetracoccus by forming 4 autospores within a single cell Autospores are a type of spores that are produced by algae to enable asexual reproduction and spread. They are non-motile and non- flagellated aplanospores that are generated within a parent cell and have the same shape as the parent cell before their ...

  8. Ascomycota - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascomycota

    Asexual reproduction is the dominant form of propagation in the Ascomycota, and is responsible for the rapid spread of these fungi into new areas. It occurs through vegetative reproductive spores, the conidia .

  9. Zoospore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoospore

    A zoosporangium is the asexual structure in which the zoospores develop in plants, fungi, or protists (such as the Oomycota). Developing sporangia of oomycetes go through a process of cleavage in which a protein kinase , in the case of Phytophthora infestans , induces the sporangial cytoplasm to split and release the various zoospores.
