Question

One of the Following Does Not Reproduce by Spore Formation Method.
(1) Rhizopus Fungus
(2) Penicillium Fungus
(3) Yeast Fungus
(4) Mucor Fungus

Answer 1

Hint: Spore Formation is an Asexual Reproduction process. Many spores are housed in sacs known as Sporangia.

Complete answer:
Sporangia bursts, producing minute single-celled, thin or thick walled structures known as spores. They grow into a new Plant if the conditions are favourable. Asexual reproduction is accomplished by the use of spores.
Sporangia are knob-shaped structures. They are found at the tip of thread-like structures known as hyphae. They are dispersive, which means they are dispersed by rain, wind, or insects.
The bread mould, also known as the Rhizopus mushroom, reproduces asexually through the use of spores. Spores can withstand harsh environmental conditions. Despite the presence of spores in the environment, fungus does not thrive on dry surfaces. They need water to grow. As a result, fungi can be seen on the bread. The scattered spores land on the surface of the bread. They germinate and reproduce as optimal conditions are met.
Penicillium Fungus does Not Reproduce by Spore Formation Method.

So, option B is the correct answers.

Note:
Penicillium is a saprophytic fungus that is often referred to as blue or green mould. They can be found in the soil, the air, rotting fruits and vegetables, meat, and so on. Penicillium reproduces asexually by unicellular, uninucleate, non-motile spores called conidia, which grow on conidiophore.
