Solution

Algae:

  1. Algae include a wide group of eukaryotic unicellular photosynthetic organisms.
  2. They are predominantly found in aquatic habitats.

Algal growth:

  1. Algae thrive in the presence of water, sunlight, carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous.
  2. The algal plant body develops haploid gametes and they fuse to form a diploid zygote.
  3. The diploid zygote then undergoes meiosis to form four meiospores that develop into haploid plants.
