A) Polysiphonia
B) Anabaena
C) Ectocarpus
D) None of these
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
| [d] Male gametes are flagellated in Ectocarpus belonging to Phaeophyceae. The flagella of male gamete plays an important role in establishing initial sexual contact with the female gamete. However in Ectocarpus the female gamete too is flagellated but is different in structure. |
| In Polysiphonia (Rhodophyceae) flagellated gametes are not observed in Anabaena sexual reproduction through gametes is absent while in Spirogyra sexual reproduction takes place by conjugation wherein male gamete passes through a tube to the adjacent filament. The male gametes here are non-flagellated and show amoeboid movement. |
