Modify the definition  of sporulation ; GO:0030435 to suggest uni & 
multicellular forms.


So we'd like to propose some

Check this term its ID is not new but GO:0030435


>> ------[i] cellular sporulation ; GO:0030435

Should be a new term.

My suggestion would be to make it exclusively
'unicellular sporulation', considering a following new term for 
'multicellular sporulation' is also suggested. This will introduce 
consistency.


>> ------[i] multicellular or syncytial sporulation ; GO:new

use of OR must be avoided. Call the term 'multicellular sporulation' and 
add synonym 'syncytial sporulation'. They are synonymous and not single 
terms.

>> ---------[i] multicellular or syncytial asexual sporulation ; GO:new

................^^^^^^^ unicellular
