The process whereby cells that are products of meiosis acquire the specialized features of ascospores. Ascospores are generally found in clusters of four or eight spores within a single mother cell, the ascus, and are characteristic of the ascomycete fungi (phylum Ascomycota). A biological process that directly contributes to the process of producing new individuals by one or two organisms. The new individuals inherit some proportion of their genetic material from the parent or parents. The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a cellular component. Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a microtubule organizing center, a structure from which microtubules grow. A process, occurring at the cellular level, that is involved in the reproductive function of a multicellular or single-celled organism. Structural modification of the spindle pole body that takes place during the second meiotic division during ascospore formation; includes the recruitment of sporulation-specific proteins to the outer plaque to form the meiotic outer plaque (MOP). During ascospore formation, the process by which each haploid nucleus becomes encapsulated by a double membrane. A cellular process that is involved in the progression of biochemical and morphological phases and events that occur in a cell during successive cell replication or nuclear replication events. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of the spindle pole body (SPB). The SPB is the microtubule organizing center in fungi, and is functionally homologous to the animal cell centrosome.
