Mold reproduce using both sexual and asexual reproduction methods.



Most yeasts reproduce asexually, either by the formation of new organisms on the existing one by way of budding or by undergoing the reproductive process of binary fission where a single organism divides into two separate, identical entities.

Hi!

OK:

Molds reproduce primarily by means of asexual reproductive spores, look at the diagram below and the description below it!



a. conidiospores

Spores borne externally on an aerial hypha called a conidiophore.

b. sporangiospores

Spores borne in a sac or sporangium on an aerial hypha called a sporangiophore.

c. arthrospores

Spores produced by fragmentation of a vegetative hypha.

What about yeast?

Yeast are simple, b/c they produce asexually by forming buds that pinch off from parent cell. That's pretty much it.
