In which algae are gametes flagellated and similar in size? 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e Ulothrix.

  • Ulothrix is a green algae found in marine and fresh waters. Each cell contains a distinct nucleus, a central vacuole and a large thin chloroplast having one pyrenoid. 
  • In most species, all the cells can form reproductive bodies. Ulothrix reproduces vegetatively by fragmentation, asexually by nonmotile resting spores and sexually by biflagellate gametes.
