Question

A fungal ________ is light enough to be carried for miles in the wind, dispersing the fungus to new areas.

a. spore
b. homokaryon
c. conidia
d. hyphae

Answer 1

Spore

Step-by-step explanation:

Most of the fungal species reproduce through spores. Spores are the reproductive structures of fungi that help in the survival of fungal species under unfavorable conditions and their dispersal to new habitats. Fungal spores are very light in weight and are dispersed with wind currents.

For example, ascospores are the sexual spores produced by fungal species of the group ascomycetes and are carried with the wind.
