Question

Give the diagrammatic representation of life cycle of Ectocarpus showing sexual and asexual reproduction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Asexual Reproduction in Ectocarpus:

The asexual reproduction takes places with the help of biflagellate zoospores. These zoospores are produced in unilocular and plurilocular sporangia

The sporophytic diploid plant forms two types of sporangia:

(a) Unilocular sporangia    

(b) Plurilocular sporangia.

These two types of zoosporangia may be produced on the same plant or on different plants. The unilocular zoosporangia form haploid zoospores and the plurilocular sprogania form diploid zoospores.
