Asexual Spores in Fungi

Play an AI-generated podcast conversation about this lesson

What are blastospores?

Small buds developed from which independent cells grow (correct)

Spores with small spine-like projections in their wall

A type of asexual reproductive spore produced at the tip or side of hyphae

Thick-walled, single-celled spores produced by aerial hyphae

Where do chlamydospores occur?

At the tip or side of hyphae

On special spore-producing structures called conidiophores

As independent cells after getting matured

In the middle, side, or end of the hyphae (correct)

What happens to conidiospores when they mature?

They develop small spine-like projections in their wall

The spores detach and become independent (correct)

They become independent after getting matured

They detach and become resistant to adverse environments
