Endospore

Real World Example

Imagine you're caught in a sudden downpour without an umbrella, and you use a sturdy coat to protect yourself from getting soaked. This situation is similar to how certain bacteria use endospores to shield their vital DNA from harsh environmental conditions. Just as the coat acts as a barrier to keep you dry until the rain stops, the endospore forms a thick protective wall around the bacterial DNA, ensuring its survival until favorable conditions return.
