Zygospore is formed by reduction division

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

because a zygospore is a diploid (\(2n\)) resting spore formed by the fusion (syngamy) of two haploid gametes. Reduction division (meiosis) occurs during the germination of the zygospore to produce haploid spores, not during the formation of the zygospore itself.
