Chrysophyte Reproduction
- In chrysophytes, reproduction happens by cell division.
- Chrysophytes generate spores and reproduce asexually.
- The spores move around and have flagella. as well known as zoospores.
- Flagella are only present during reproduction in chrysophytes.
- Just diatoms exhibit sexual reproduction.
- Chrysophyta members typically engage in photosynthetic growth, although some-particularly the golden algae-become heterotrophic in conditions of little light or abundant dissolved food.
Chrysophytes
The practice of classifying organisms based on shared characteristics is known as biological classification. The two kingdoms of classification were proposed by Linnaeus. He divided organisms into two kingdoms: the animal world (Animalia) and the plant kingdom (Plantae). The two kingdom classification had some drawbacks, such as the inability to distinguish between eukaryotes and prokaryotes, unicellular and multicellular species, and photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic organisms. As a result, this field underwent further development, with R.H. Whittaker’s Five Kingdom classification serving as the primary example.
