Question

Structure of female reproductive organs in chara

Answer 1

Chara reproduces vegetatively and sexually. Vegetative reproduction takes place by tubers, amylum stars and secondary protonema. The fructifications for sexual reproduction are globule or antheridium (male) and nucule or archegonium (female). The sex organs are multicellular and jacketed.

Answer 2

Sexual Reproduction in Chara

Explanation:

• Sexual propagation of Chara is known as oogamous type
• The sex organ round and yellow to red in color, called globule
• The female sex organ is green in color and oval, called the nucule or oogonium  
• They develop on the nodes of the part of restricted development (i.e.essential parallel), intermixed with auxiliary laterals. Nucule is constantly arranged independently over the globule  
• The greater part of the species are monoecious  or homothallic(i.e.  female sex organs and male sex organ develop on a similar plant), yet some are dioecious or heterothallic
• Chara replicates vegetatively and explicitly. Vegetative proliferation happens by tubers, auxiliary protonema and amylum stars
• The fructifications for sexual proliferation are globule or antheridium (male) and nucule or archegonium (female)
• The sex organs are multicellular and jacketed
