Question

Describe the procces of auxospore formation in pinnate daitoms with suitable illustration

Answer 1

Answer:

Auxospore. ... When its size becomes too small, a dividing diatom cell produces an auxospore to expand its cell size back to that which is normal for vegetative cells. Auxospores can also play a role in sexual reproduction in diatoms, and may be formed after haploid gametes fuse to form a diploid zygote.
