Question

Which class of algae reproduces asexually by non-motile spores and sexually by non-motile gametes?

• A. Rhodophyceae
• B. Chlorophyceae
• C. Phaeophyceae
• D. Cyanophyceae

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rhodophyceae

The algae which belong to the group Rhodophycaea can reproduce sexually as well as asexually. In asexual reproduction, the non-motile spores are produced which form the new cell body. The sexual reproduction is the fusion of the non-motile gametes to form the embryo which develops to form the new algal body.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
