Haploid spores are formed within the ascus.
Spores.
Sporophytes.
No, formed by meiosis.
Yes, fungal spores are produced through both sexual and asexual reproduction. In sexual reproduction, fungal spores are indeed haploid and formed through meiosis, which results in genetic variation among spores.

Asexual spores are typically formed in structures called sporangia or conidia. Sporangia are found in fungi and certain plants, while conidia are produced by fungi like molds and mildews. These structures protect and distribute the asexual spores for dispersal.
Fungi produce spores through sexual reproduction, where two different mating strains combine genetic material to form spores, and asexual reproduction, where spores are formed through mitosis without the need for mating.
Spores are formed as a natural part of an organism's life. Cysts are only formed under life-threatening conditions.
Spores are formed by certain types of fungi as a means of reproduction and survival under unfavorable conditions such as drought or lack of nutrients. They are typically produced when the environment is no longer conducive for the fungal mycelium to grow and thrive.
Reproductive cells formed on mushroom gills are called basidiospores. Basidiospores are produced on the basidia, which are specialized structures found on the gills of mushrooms. When basidiospores are released, they can germinate and give rise to new mycelium.
