what does spores mean
In biology, a spore is a unit of asexual reproduction that may be adapted for dispersal and for survival, often for extended periods of time, in unfavorable conditions.By contrast, gametes are units of sexual reproduction. Spores form part of the life cycles of many plants, algae, fungi and protozoa.Bacterial spores are not part of a sexual cycle but are resistant structures used for survival under unfavourable conditions.pores form part of the life cycles of many plants, algae, fungi and protozoa.
