Explanation / Answer

1. Upon germination, the zygospore produce colonies that are genetically different from either parent.

2. Rhizopus reproduce by forming asexual and sexual spores. IN ASEXUAL REPROUCTION, sporangiospores are produced inside a spherical structure, the sporangium.

IN SEXUAL REPRODUCTION, a dark zygospore is produced at the point where two mycelia fuse.

3. SPORANGIA are responsible for making and storing spores. and helps to germinate and form new organisms.
