1 : a nonmotile asexual spore formed by rejuvenescence in certain algae and distinguished from an akinete by developing a new cell wall distinct from that of the parent cell — compare hypnospore, zoospore. 2 : a nonmotile asexual spore produced within the sporangium in certain fungi (such as Mucoraceae)

What is the example of Aplanospore?

An immobile, thin-walled spore that relies on passive transport by water currents. Examples of organisms producing such spores are certain algae and fungi. Word origin: a- (not) + planao- (wandering) + spore.

What is the difference between Aplanospore and zoospore?

Zoospores and aplanospores are two types of spores produced by algae and fungi during asexual reproduction. ... The main difference between zoospores and aplanospores is that zoospores are motile spores whereas aplanospores are non-motile spores.
