Answer:
Explanation:
Vaucheria is represented by 54 species of which about 19 species are found in India. Vaucheria is found mostly in fresh water but about six species are marine and some are terrestrial found on moist soil.
The life cycle of Vaucheria is haplontic, the oospore being the only diploid structure. Vaucheria thallus is haploid. It is aseptate, branched, tubular and coenocytic structure. I have attached some 2 pictures which completely describe the life cycle of it.
Vegetative re-production takes place by fragmentation. Asexual reproduction takes place by zoospore in aquatic species and by aplanospores in terrestrial species.
