Discuss the sexual and asexual reproduction of Rhizopus, the black bread mold. Include the names of

the structures involved. What will be an ideal response?


Concepts to Consider: Spores grow into a mycelium (haploid), producing sporangia with asexual
spores (haploid); hyphae of different mating types come together and form gametangia (haploid);
resultant zygospores (diploid) germinate, producing haploid hyphae, which produce sporangia with
haploid spores.
