Algae are known to reproduce asexually by a variety of spores under different environmental conditions. Name these spores and the conditions under which they are produced.
Algae produce different spores under different conditions:
Type of Spores | Description | Conditions for production | |
Zoospore | Mobile spores with flagella | Formed under favourable conditions | |
Aplanospore | Non-motile spores without flagella | Formed under unfavourable conditions. | |
Hynospore | Spores having thick walls for protection |
|
|
Akinetes | Resting cells formed from the vegetative cells |
|
|
Statospores | Similar to akinetes and found in ddiatoms |
