Chara is homothallic because________
Globule and nucule are present on the same thallus.
Chara is a fresh water, green alga found submerged in shallow water ponds, tanks, lakes and slow running water. Chara is found mostly in hard fresh water, rich in organic matter, calcium and deficient in oxygen. Reproduction in Chara takes place by vegetative and sexual methods. Asexual reproduction is absent.
The sexual reproduction in Chara is of highly advanced oogamous type. The sex organs are macroscopic and complex in organization. The male sex organs are called antheridium or globule and the female oogonium or nucule. Most of the Chara species are homothallic i.e., the female and male sex organs are borne on the same nodes.
Ovary and testes are the sex organs in animals.
