Solution(By Examveda Team)

The spores which are produced typically by the binucleate mycelium and mainly function as repeating spores for the spread of rust disease in wheat are called Uredospores.
Urediniospores (or uredospores) are thin-walled spores produced by the uredium, a stage in the life cycle of rusts.
Urediniospores usually have two dikaryotic nuclei within one cell. In mass, they are usually pale brown in contrast to teliospores which are generally dark brown.
