The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "One of the following is not asexual spores produced in fungus," we need to analyze the options provided: conidiospores, sporangiospores, zoospores, and zygospores. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Types of Spores:** - **Conidiospores**: These are asexual spores produced by fungi, particularly found in the group Ascomycetes. - **Sporangiospores**: These are also asexual spores, commonly found in Zygomycetes and Chytridiomycetes. - **Zygospores**: These are not asexual spores; they are sexual spores found in Zygomycetes. - **Zoospores**: These are motile spores that can be produced in some fungi and are involved in sexual reproduction. 2. **Determine Which Spores Are Asexual:** - Conidiospores, sporangiospores, and zygospores are all asexual spores. - Zygospores are sexual spores, which means they do not fit the criteria of the question. 3. **Conclusion:** - The question asks for the option that is not an asexual spore. Among the options, **zoospores** are involved in sexual reproduction, making them the correct answer. ### Final Answer: **Zoospores** are not asexual spores produced in fungi. ---
