Question

state some animal features of
Chlamydomonas?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Unicellular cells, spherical or slightly cylindrical, a papilla may be present or absent. Chloroplasts green and usually cup-shaped. A key feature of the genus is its two anterior flagella, each as long as the other.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a study in contrasts: It is a soil-dwelling, unicellular algae, but it can swim; it practices photosynthesis like a plant, but has many distinctly animal-like genes; it is called the green yeast—referring to its shape and size—yet, genetically, it bears less resemblance to the fungi than to plants and animals; and finally, although it harvests light via chloroplasts for energy as many plants do, Chlamydomonas possesses a structure that strangely resembles the eye of an animal that, in combination with its flagella, permits orientation within the soil. So, Chlamydomonas is a plant-animal, still related to the last common ancestor of the two kingdoms.
