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). The process by which the nascent membrane forms at the meiotic outer plaque and grows until closure occurs and forespores, or prospores, are formed. The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a cellular component. The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a membrane. The process by which a bending force is generated in the prospore membrane to form the characteristic curved shape of the prospore. During ascospore formation, the process by which each haploid nucleus becomes encapsulated by a double membrane. The process by which a membrane is synthesized, aggregates, and bonds together. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a membrane. A membrane is a double layer of lipid molecules that encloses all cells, and, in eukaryotes, many organelles; may be a single or double lipid bilayer; also includes associated proteins.
