Bacteria maintain their survival by the formation of:
Correct answer: C. Endospores
- A. Hormogonia
- B. Akinetes
- C. Endospores
- D. Zygospores
Explanation
Endospores are the correct answer because they are specialized, durable structures that allow bacteria to survive in unfavorable conditions. Unlike akinets or hormogonia, endospores can withstand extreme environmental stresses such as heat, desiccation, and chemicals. Zygospores, on the other hand, are related to fungi and protists and are not relevant to bacterial survival.
