Mycelium well developed; sexual reproduction by zygospores; asexual reproduction by sporangia and conidia.
Understand that in asexual reproduction mitosis produces identical offspring (clones ).
Clone -- group of plants with the same genetic makeup, derived from asexual reproduction.
The spore-bearing generation may throughout its phylogenetic history have been independent at one part of its life, and have been derived by modification of individuals homologous with those of the sexual generation, and not by the progressive sterilization of a structure the whole of which was originally devoted to asexual reproduction.
Both sexual and asexual reproduction occur, but there is usually no definite succession of the two modes, marking that alternation of sexual generation (gametophyte) and asexual generation (sporophyte) which characterizes the higher groups.
