In biology, a spore is a unit of sexual (in fungi) or asexual reproduction that may be adapted for dispersal and for survival, often for extended periods of time, in unfavourable conditions. [1] Spores form part of the life cycles of many plants , algae , fungi and protozoa . [ 2 ]
The term "spore" is used to describe a structure related to propagation and dispersal. Zygomycete spores can be formed through both sexual and asexual means. Before germination the spore is in a dormant state. During this period, the metabolic rate is very low and it may last from a few hours to many years.
Chaim Gingold (born January 15, 1980, in Haifa, Israel) is an Israeli-American game designer and writer, noted for his work with the computer game Spore, where he designed the game's creators, including the Spore Creature Creator. Gingold was also a key member of Spore's design and prototyping team. [1]
Spore is a video game developed by Maxis and designed by Will Wright, released in September 2008.The game has drawn wide attention for its ability to simulate the development of a species on a galactic scope, using its innovation of user-guided evolution via the use of procedural generation for many of the components of the game, providing vast scope and open-ended gameplay.
At the top is a bright red disc with a variable number of arms, typically 3–7 cm long. The gleba found on the disc and inner side of the arms is slimy, foetid, and green colored. Spores are hyaline, with dimensions of 4–6 1.5–2 μm. [12] Aseroë rubra, an Australian and Pacific species which has spread to Europe and North America.
Spore-like cells, a specific class of stem cells; Spore print, a diagnostic character for identifying mushrooms; Resting spore, created by fungi; Milky spore, a bacterium of the white grubs of Japanese beetles; Bacterial morphological plasticity, bacteria changing into spores
Polytrichum is a genus of mosses — commonly called haircap moss or hair moss — which contains approximately 70 species that have a cosmopolitan distribution.The genus Polytrichum has a number of closely related sporophytic characters.
This characteristic of forcible spore discharge is rarely seen in hyphomycetes. [2] N. sphaerica requires moisture to release spores into the air, therefore accumulation begins around 2:00 a.m. with peak time of abundance occurring around 10:00 a.m. Spore count rapidly decreases after 10:00 a.m. and remains low throughout the day.
