Question

Rhizopus and Mucor have zoospores?

Answer 1

Hint:
A zoospore also called a "swarm spore," is a motile asexual spore that employs a flagellum for movement. These spores are produced by some bacteria, fungi, and protists to reproduce themselves. A zoosporangium is an asexual structure in which zoospores are produced.

Complete step by step answer:
Rhizopus is a specialized parasite on animals and common saprophytic fungi on plants. They are found in various organic materials. They can be found in a wide variety of organic substances, including syrups, ripe fruits and vegetables, leather, jellies, bread, tobacco, and peanuts. Rhizopus species grow as branching, filamentous hyphae that generally lack cross-walls. They multiply by forming sexual and asexual spores. Sporangiospores are produced in asexual reproduction inside the sporangium. A dark zygospore is produced in sexual reproduction, at the point where two consistent mycelia combine. Upon germination, a zygospore makes colonies that are genetically diverse from either parent.
Mucor species are found in digestive systems, soil, plant surfaces, some cheeses, decaying vegetable matter, and iron oxide residue in the biosorption process. Mucor spp. may cause infections in frogs, men, amphibians, swine, and cattle. Mucor reproduces by asexual reproduction by erecting hyphal sporangiospores. The tip of the sporangiospores bulges to form a globose sporangium that has haploid, uninucleate sporangiospores. Sexual reproduction takes place through the zygospore produced by the zygosporangium.
Hence, both Rhizopus and Mucor do not have zoospores.

Note:
Zoospores may have one or more different types of flagella - tinsel, whiplash, or decorated in different combinations. Lateral filaments also called mastigonemes are perpendicular to the main axis and are found in tessellated flagella. These flagella have rudder-like properties which assist in the proper disruption of the surrounding medium. As a result, they are used for steering purposes. On the other hand, whiplash flagella are straight without any lateral filaments and allow the zoospore to move through the medium.
Tessellated flagella have lateral filaments known as mastigonemes perpendicular to their main axis, which allow for more surface region, and disruption of the medium, providing them with the property of a rudder, that is, used for steering. The whiplash flagella are straight, to power the zoospore through its medium.
