20/50 - Spore

A spore is a unit of asexual reproduction that can be used for dispersal and survival in unfavorable conditions. The opposite of spores are gametes which are units of sexual reproduction. Spores are part of the life cycles of many plants, algae and fungi. Spores are also found in bacteria but are not part of a sexual cycle and are used as resistant structures for survival instead.
