| | Spore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | However, seeds (of seed plants) are not the same as spores, but are the fusion of gametes. | | | Vascular plant spores are always haploid and vascular plants are either homosporous or heterosporous. | | | A chief difference between spores and seeds as dispersal units is that spores have very little stored food resources compared with seeds, and thus require more favorable conditions in order to successfully germinate. |

| | AllRefer.com - spore (Biology, General) - Encyclopedia |
| | A spore is typically a cell surrounded by a cell wall; in resistant spores and in the resting stage of reproductive spores this wall becomes tough and waterproof, permitting the cell to survive unfavorable circumstances such as extremes of temperature and moisture. | | | Upon germination, spores that were generated asexually may produce cells or multicellular forms that can engage in sexual reproduction. | | | Among the fungi some spores are thin-walled and germinate quickly; others are thick-walled resistant types. |

| | Spore combines several different genres in an effort to simulate the process of evolution from the very creation of a single microbe to the galactic expansion and colonization of other worlds. | | | Wright's Spore will tend to merge a life-simulator with strategic, management, RTS, and other elements in order to create a unique gaming experience dedicated to the evolution of a single microbe into an intelligent, technologically advanced creature bent on conquering the universe. | | | One must admit that the entire concept of creating life and watching it evolve through many different stages sounds incredibly addictive (or very boring depending on how fast the game moves -Ed.), leaving the player so many possibilities to experience and so many things to explore on so many levels. |
