'''Spore'''

A '''[[Spore]]''' is a unit of [[sexual]] or [[asexual reproduction]] that may be adapted for [[dispersal]] and for survival, often for extended periods of time, in unfavorable conditions. Spores form part of the life cycles of many [[plants]], [[algae]], [[fungi]] and [[protozoa]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spore|title=Spore|accessdate=2021-09-30}}</ref>

==Bacterial spores==

'''[[Bacterial spores]]''' are extremely durable and can survive in harsh conditions, such as extreme heat and lack of nutrients. They are formed by a process called [[sporulation]], which is triggered by lack of nutrients and usually begins in the cell's vegetative state.

==Fungal spores==

'''[[Fungal spores]]''' are usually haploid and unicellular and are produced by meiosis in the sporangium of a [[dikaryotic]] fruiting body. Spores are capable of developing into a new organism using mitotic division, producing a multicellular [[thallus]], which eventually goes on to produce more spores.

==Plant spores==

'''[[Plant spores]]''' are haploid and multicellular and are produced by meiosis in the sporangium of a diploid sporophyte. Under favourable conditions the spore can develop into a new organism using mitotic division, producing a multicellular [[gametophyte]], which eventually goes on to produce [[gametes]].

==Protozoan spores==

'''[[Protozoan spores]]''' are formed by some protozoa as a way to survive in a dormant state under unfavorable conditions. They are capable of surviving for long periods of time and can be spread through the air, water, and soil.
