In plants, spore formation is a mode of reproduction that involves the production of
spores. Which of the following statements about spore formation is true?
-
A.
Spores are a form of vegetative propagation in angiosperms only.
-
B.
Spores are formed through sexual reproduction in plants
-
C.
Spores are produced by flowers, and they grow into seeds.
-
D.
Spores are produced by non-flowering plants like ferns and mosses, and they grow into new plants.
Correct Answer:
D. Spores are produced by non-flowering plants like ferns and mosses, and they grow into new plants.
Explanation:
The correct answer is Option D: Spores are produced by non-flowering plants like ferns and mosses, and they grow into new plants.
Spore formation is a method of asexual reproduction commonly utilized by non-flowering plants such as mosses and ferns, as well as fungi like bread mold. These organisms produce tiny, lightweight reproductive units called spores, which are typically protected by a hard outer coating to survive harsh environmental conditions. Unlike seeds, which are the result of sexual reproduction in flowering plants (angiosperms), spores can develop directly into new, independent organisms without the need for fertilization. This allows these plants to disperse and propagate efficiently in various environments.
