Mar 06, 2013 - 4:55 pm. I finished chemotherapy therapy in September for stage !V colon cancer. I had my second CT scan last Monday and the Onc called today and left a message that I still have a tiny spot on my lung and two very small cysts on my liver. What alarmed me was the word still. I had never heard before today that I had ANY spots or cysts found on my previous scan. Needless to say...I was a little freaked out.
Spores are usually haploid and unicellular and are produced by meiosis in the sporangium of a diploid sporophyte. Under favourable conditions the spore can develop into a new organism using mitotic division, producing a multicellular gametophyte, which eventually goes on to produce gametes. Two gametes fuse to form a zygote which develops into a new sporophyte.
noun, plural: spores. A dormant, reproductive cell formed by certain organisms. It is thick-walled and highly resistant to survive under unfavorable conditions so that when conditions revert to being suitable it gives rise to a new individual. Supplement. Some of the spore-producing organisms are bacteria, fungi, algae and plants. In plants, a is similar to a seed by being a dispersal unit. The difference is that the spore has very little stored food resources compared with seeds.
