The advantages are that reproduction is rapid and those produced are well protected in a shell. The disadvantage is that spores must stay in certain conditions and for a given amount of time in order to be successful.

∙ 11y ago1) The offspring is very similar to the parent and there are no variations, which is because only one parent is involved - spores are a form of asexual reproduction.
2) The plant produces millions of spores, which ensures that at least some reach a host where they can grow and perpetuate. Hence, a stable population is maintained and climatic and other constraints do not affect much.
3) Spores can remain dormant for long periods of time until they find suitable conditions for growth.
4) Spore formation does not take much energy, which can now be utilized for more important metabolic activities. Sexual reproduction needs more energy for the formation of flowers and other reproductive organs.

∙ 11y agoAdvantages of reproduction by spore formation are:
- Spores are small and light so can be carried away by wind, water and animals to distant places.
- Their thick wall gives them protection against unfavourable conditions.
- As spores are small, so organism can afford to release more of them. There will be more number of spores surviving.

Are only some bacteria that form spores harmful?
no bactreria form spores only plants do especiall ferns
Moss spores form inside capsules that break open and shoot spores into the environment which does no help carry these spores to new areas?
rhizoids
Does enterobacter aerogenes form spores?
enterococcus faecalis are unable to form spores but are tolerant to a wide range of environmental conditions
What is the function of the gills of a toadstool?
There are where the spores form and from where they are distributed into the air.
When spores spread and land in a suitable place what form?
New Mycelium is what forms when spores spread and land in a somewhat suitable place.
Explain an advantage of being able to reproduce asexually?
Easy, since only one parent is required. It is a fast form of reproduction.

Is fern reproduce from spores?
Yes, spores are the "seeds" of ferns. They form on the underside of the leaves on the fern.so fern produces from spores

yes it does!
What form of birth does fungi have?

Does corn reproduce by spores?
Corn, an angiosperm, reproduces by seeds instead of spores. This is a form of sexual reproduction. No angiosperm reproduces with spores.

Spores
When ferns reproduce sexually what do they form?
spores
What is the significance of the organication?
Endospre foming orgaism are of particular interest in the medical field because it is going to inflience the treatment of bacterial infection if the infecting pathogen is able to form spores. As you might already know, spores are formed inside the bacterial cell and are ejected into the external environment. The spores are quite tough and are able to grow into complete bacteria under the right physical conditions. Hence, killing the pathogen does not ensure the death of the spores as well. The spores can turn into bacteria later. Hence, for spore forming bacteria, the medical procedure has to be designed to get rid of the bacteria as well as the spores.
How does fungi mushrooms reproduce?
Club fungi reproduce asexually. This means they do not need a male to reproduce. They form spores on the basidia and these spores grow.
At what stage in the microbial growth curve spores develop?
Spores form during the Stationary Phase of the Bacterial Growth Curve. During the lag phase or the log phase, things are good for the bacteria, so they arent thinking about what it is like to live without all the resources that they need, so they dont start forming the spores yet. Once the bacteria reach the death phase they are not able to form spores anymore, let alone stay alive. So the only phase that the spore forming bacteria make there spores is during the stationary phase.
