Do animals produce spores as part of their reproductive life cycle?
Correct Answer
No, animals never produce spores
Explanation
Spores are a feature of plant and some protist or fungal life cycles, not animal life cycles. In animals, the haploid stage exists only briefly, as gametes, before fertilization restores the diploid state.
