Anisogamous type of Sexual reproduction is seen in

Concept-

• Algae are a chlorophyll-bearing organism, with a simple thalloid-like structure and, autotrophic in the mode of nutrition.
• Algae live primarily aquatic organisms which may live in both freshwater and marine water.
• The algae reproduce by vegetative, asexual, and sexual methods.
• Sexual reproduction in algae takes place through the fusion of two gametes.
• Sexual reproduction is of three types.
  • (1) Isogamous (2) Anisogamous (3) Oogamous

Explanation-

• Anisogamous is a condition in which fusion of two gametes takes place which is dissimilar in size.

Anisogamous type of Sexual reproduction is seen in Eudorina.

Additional Information

• Isogamous is a condition in which fusion of two gametes takes place which is similar in size. For example - Spirogyra, Ulothrix.
• Oogamous is a condition in which fusion between one large, nonmotile (static) female gamete and a smaller, motile male gamete occurs. For example- Volvox.
• In algae, vegetative reproduction occurs by fragmentation. Each fragment develops into a thallus.
• In Asexual reproduction in algae, different types of spores are produced.
