Question

What happens when a mature spirogyra filament attains considerable length?

Answer 1

Asexual reproduction:

The type of reproduction that lacks the fusion of gametes and involves only one parent is called asexual reproduction. Organisms reproduce asexually by several methods, including binary fission, budding, and fragmentation.

The fate of mature spirogyra after attaining considerable length:

1. When a mature spirogyra attains a considerable length, it is divided into two more fragments.
2. The fragmented spirogyra develops into a new one.
3. This type of reproduction is asexual and known as fragmentation.
