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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

There are many advantages, if an organism reproduces through spores. Advantages of spore formation are :
(i) Large numbers of spores are produced in one sporangium.
(ii) Spores are distributed easily by air to far-off places to avoid competition at one place. Thus, spores can be spread through water, air or animals and thus is good for the spread of an organism to more places.
(iii) Spores are covered by thick walls to prevent dehydration under unfavourable conditions and can remain dormant till favourable conditions become available.
