What is the primary difference between asexual and sexual spore production in fungi?

Asexual spores are produced through cell division, while sexual spores are produced through meiosis.

Asexual spores are produced by cell division, while sexual spores are produced by the fusion of nuclei from two opposite fungi of the same species. (correct)
