Hello

The Brown Algae or Phaeophyceae reproduce asexually using pear shaped biflagellate gametes. 'Pyriform' is the term used to referred to this shape of the gametes. These are known as zoospores.Their flagella are unequal in size and are laterally attached. These are present in all the members of this class of algae except for Dictyotales which use single flagellated gametes and Fucales where the anterior flagella is not larger than the posterior one. The zoospores are produced inside the zoosporangia.

The answer is the 'Brown Algae'.

Pear shaped and biflagellate gamete is found in brown algae or
 Phaeophyceae. They reproduce asexually. The gametes are pyriform or pear-shaped.
The brown colour of this group of algae is due to the pigment called fucoxanthin. There are about 1500 species recorded till date.
