Conidiospore
B
Zygospore
C
Basidiospore
D
Ascospore
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that molds reproduce by forming spores, which can be either sexual or asexual in origin.
Recall that asexual spores are produced by mitosis and do not involve the fusion of gametes, while sexual spores result from meiosis following the fusion of gametes.
Identify the types of spores listed: Zygospore, Basidiospore, and Ascospore are all sexual spores formed through sexual reproduction processes in fungi.
Recognize that Conidiospores (or conidia) are asexual spores produced externally on specialized hyphae called conidiophores, without sexual fusion.
Conclude that among the options, the asexual spore produced by molds is the Conidiospore.
