Question

What is meant by 2-8 equal apical flagella in chlorophyceae?

Answer 1

it meant that the flagella present in chlorophyceae is 2or 8 in no.and it present on its apical

Answer 2

2-8 apical flagella Chlorophyceae means the number of flagella in such organisms varies from 2-8 and they are found in the apical region.

• The Chlorophyceae includes many familiar phytoplanktonic green algae such as Chlamydomonas, Scenedesmus etc.

• Most chlorophycean algae are photosynthetic.
• The Chlorophyceae algae are abundant in freshwater but include many marine species. Chlamydomonas is an examle for biology.
• Chlorophyceae are unicellular, colonial, or filamentous. Most species are non-motile, but many species are flagellate.
• The flagellate cells are rotationally symmetrical cell architecture and two or four flagella are inserted apically.

• The basal bodies are directly opposed or displaced clockwise.
• Asexual reproduction is caused by binary fission.

• Sexual reproductions by isogamy, anisogamy, or oogamy.

• Most species with sexual reproduction show a haplontic life cycle, in which the zygote is the only diploid stage.

• In some members of the Chaetophorales, isomorphic alternation of generation is reported.
