Vegetative reproduction in members of class Chlorophyceae:
Vegetative reproduction refers to the asexual mode of development of new plants from the floral parts of another fully developed plant such as shoots and leaves.
The members of this group include green algae.
They vegetatively reproduce by means of zoospores.
Zoospores are motile asexual spores that possess a flagellum.
They are generated by the mitosis of parent cells.
They also reproduce vegetatively by fragmentation.
