Known reproduction states of Mucoromycota are zygospore production and asexual reproduction. Zygospores can have decorations on their surface and range up to several millimeters in diameter. [ 13 ] Asexual reproduction typically involves the production of sporangiospores or chlamydospores . [ 3 ]
Parthenogenesis is a mode of asexual reproduction in which offspring are produced by females without the genetic contribution of a male. Among all the sexual vertebrates, the only examples of true parthenogenesis, in which all-female populations reproduce without the involvement of males, are found in squamate reptiles (snakes and lizards). [1]
Mucor mucedo reproduction occurs in asexual and sexual methods. Mucor mucedo is also influenced by light, as cultures grown during the day at 20 °C mainly produced tall sporangiophores, rarely producing short sporangiophores or none at all. [16] Cultures drown in the dark grew a dense layer of short sporangiophores with occasional tall ones. [16]
Mucor is a microbial genus of approximately 40 species of molds in the family Mucoraceae. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Species are commonly found in soil , digestive systems , plant surfaces, some cheeses like Tomme de Savoie , rotten vegetable matter and iron oxide residue in the biosorption process.
Parthenogenesis (/ ˌ p ɑːr θ ɪ n oʊ ˈ dʒ ɛ n ɪ s ɪ s,-θ ɪ n ə-/; [1] [2] from the Greek παρθένος, parthénos, 'virgin' + γένεσις, génesis, 'creation' [3]) is a natural form of asexual reproduction in which the embryo develops directly from an egg without need for fertilization.
The hemipenis is the intromittent organ of Squamata, [4] which is the second largest order of vertebrates with over 9,000 species distributed around the world. They differ from the intromittent organs of most other amniotes such as mammals, archosaurs and turtles that have a single genital tubercle, as squamates have the paired genitalia remaining separate.

Some trematode eggs hatch directly in the environment (water), while others are eaten and hatched within a host, typically a mollusc. The hatchling is called a miracidium, a free-swimming, ciliated larva. Miracidia will then grow and develop within the intermediate host into a sac-like structure known as a sporocyst or into rediae, either of ...
Mucor racemosus is a rapidly growing, weedy mould belonging to the division Mucoromycota. [1] It is one of the earliest fungi to be grown in pure culture and was first isolated in 1886. [ citation needed ] It has a worldwide distribution and colonizes many habitats such as vegetational products, soil and houses.
