Question

The reproductive life cycle of a mold includes formation of zygospores and spores. Which statement describes these formations? . . a. zygospores form in the asexual stage and spores is the sexual stage.. b. zygospores are haploid and spores and diploid.. c. zygospores form in the sexual stage and spores in the asexual stage.

Answer 1

The correct answer will be option-C

Step-by-step explanation:

The fungus which produces the growing structures in the form of hyphae is known as moulds. The moulds reproduce by producing a large number of small structures called spores which acts as an adaptive feature of dispersal in the organisms.

The spores produced by the moulds are produced as a result of the asexual reproduction simply called spores which are produced from the sporangiophores.

The sexual spores are also produced by the moulds through meiosis which acts as reproductive organs and germinates during the favorable environment.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Answer 2

"Zygospores form in the sexual stage and spores in the asexual stage" is the statement among the statements given in the question that describes these formations. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "c". I hope that the answer has helped you.
