NounSingular spore Plural spores spore (plural spores) Wikipedia has an article on: Spore
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. In biology, a spore is a reproductive structure that is adapted for dispersal and surviving for extended periods of time in unfavorable conditions. Spores form part of the life cycles of many bacteria, plants, algae, fungi and some protozoans. A chief difference between spores and seeds as dispersal units is that spores have very little stored food resources compared with seeds. Spores are usually haploid and unicellular and are produced by meiosis in the sporangium by the sporophyte. Once conditions are favorable, 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 create a new sporophyte. This cycle is known as alternation of generations, but a better term is "biological life cycle", as there may be more than one phase and so it cannot be a direct alternation. Haploid spores produced by mitosis (known as mitospores) are used by many fungi for asexual reproduction. Many ferns, especially those adapted to dry conditions, produce diploid spores. This form of asexual reproduction is called apogamy. It is a form of apomixis. Spores are the units of asexual reproduction, because a single spore develops into a new organism. By contrast, gametes are the units of sexual reproduction, as two gametes need to fuse to create a new organism. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I've been getting really exited about the new game Spore. It seemed pretty cool. Then I started reading reviews about the game and it seemed a lot of people thought it wasn't all it appeared to be. Though most agreed it was good for creative people. I consider myself fairly creative and view the game play as secondary. What I'd like to know is is this video game good for someone like me with these standards. An answer form someone who has played Spore is extremely preferable. Asked by Dan da Man - Thu Sep 18 19:03:47 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. In short, yes, the game is good whether you are creative or not. In a bit more detail... there's five parts to the game: Cell, which is basically a mini game, very little customization, but simple fun. You either eat other creatures and floating meaty bits, or eat plant life depending on your choice at the start. Creature, which is arguably one of the most enjoyable parts of the game.

You can either run around killing stuff, or socialize with the other creatures to get past this stage. Tribal, which is simple real time strategy game. You control several of your creatures to either do battle with other tribes (of different… [cont.] Answered by rdeedfrey - Thu Sep 18 19:33:50 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "spore"  kotaku.com Fri, 02 Jul 2010 20:46:54 GMT+00:00 Kotaku.com (blog) Is it time for a Spore patch?
