French translation of zygospore is 
zygospore

Meaning of "zygospore" in English

A zygospore is a type of spore formed by some fungi and algae during sexual reproduction. It is a thick-walled resting cell resulting from the fusion of two similar gametes. This spore serves as a dormant stage, allowing the organism to survive harsh environmental conditions until favorable growth circumstances return. Zygospores protect the genetic material and play a critical role in the life cycle of certain fungi, enabling them to disperse and colonize new areas once conditions are suitable.

Meaning of "zygospore" in French

In French, a zygospore (zygospore) refers to the same biological structure found in certain fungi and algae formed through sexual reproduction. Similar to the English definition, it involves the fusion of two gametes leading to a thick-walled resting spore. The role of zygospore in French-speaking scientific contexts also emphasizes its importance in survival and adaptation during unfavorable environmental periods, ensuring genetic material preservation and later germination under suitable conditions.
