Define the term zoospores,conidia and gemmules …

A spore is a single or several celled reproductive structures that detach from the parent and gives rise, directly or indirectly, to a new individual. Conidia are non-motile asexual spores of kingdom fungi. Gemmules are the specialized asexual spores formed in sponges. It gives rise to a new individual. Zoospores are endogenous spores while conidia are exogenous spores. Zoospores have flagella for locomotion while conidia lack flagella.  Zoospores are asexual spores that are motile in nature. They use flagella for locomotion. They are the means of asexual reproduction. Examples include spores of some algae, fungi and protozoans. Gemmules are internal buds found in sponges and are involved in asexual reproduction. It is an asexually reproduced mass of cells that is capable of developing into a new organism, that is, an adult sponge. Example is Spongilla lacustris.
