How will an organism be benefitted if it reproduces through spores?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

There are some benefits for the organism which reproduces through spore formation such as
(i) Reproduction through spores is a simple as well as faster mode of reproduction.
(ii) The spores are light in weight, thus keep floating in the water/air. This helps in their dispersal.
(iii) The spores are covered with a thick layer which enables them to survive in unfavourable conditions
