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.
