Question

Some different types include endospores, which are heat-resistant spores formed within the cell, cysts, which are dormant cells sometimes enclosed in a sheath, arthrospores, which are produced by different bacteria as part their reproductive cycles and myxospores, which are formed within a fruiting body.
