What is the difference between a gamete and a spore?

In: Biology

[Edit]

Answer

gamete- a sex cell with half the total chromozomes which needs to meet another gamete to start a life

spore- asexual reproduction unit with has a full set of cromozomes and can germinate to become a normal being, usually it is more hardy and is used to survive harsh conditions like winter or summer

The difference between a gamete and a spore :

- a gamete can be either a gamete male, or a gamete female. And to become a Plantae, both are needed,

- a spore isn't male or female, that's why, he only needs his-self to become a plantae (or a mushrom)
