The spores of seed plants, however, are produced internally and the megaspores, formed within the ovules and the microspores are involved in the formation of more complex structures that form the dispersal units, the seeds and pollen grains. This cycle is known as alternation of generations. (Bottom row) Average fitness 6h (solid lines) SD (shading), defined as the fraction of spores deposited within their lifetime : 6h0p(t)dt with. Two gametes fuse to form a zygote which develops into a new sporophyte. Under favourable conditions the spore can develop into a new organism using mitotic division, producing a multicellular gametophyte, which eventually goes on to produce gametes. Spores are usually haploid and unicellular and are produced by meiosis in the sporangium of a diploid sporophyte. Myxozoan spores release amoebulae into their hosts for parasitic infection, but also reproduce within the hosts through the pairing of two nuclei within the plasmodium, which develops from the amoebula. Bacterial spores are not part of a sexual cycle but are resistant structures used for survival under unfavourable conditions. Spores form part of the life cycles of many plants, algae, fungi and protozoa. By contrast, gametes are units of sexual reproduction. (Noun): A small usually single-celled asexual reproductive body produced by many nonflowering plants and fungi and some. In biology, a spore is a unit of asexual reproduction that may be adapted for dispersal and for survival, often for extended periods of time, in unfavorable conditions.
