Q

Reproduction in Class Bacillariophyceae

A

-binary fission

-during mitosis, the two valves of the frustule separate, the protoplasm divides longitudinally and the innermost or hypothecal valve is replaced in each new daughter cell

-to compensate for this reduction, the cells periodically shed both of the valves, increase in sauce and synthesize two new valves.

30
Q

Basic unit of organization of Class Phyaeophyceae

A

Filament

31
Q

Brown colour of Class Phyaeophyceae is due to what

A

Making effects of chlorophyll’s by carotenoids and xanthophyll pigments (mainly fucoxanthin)

32
Q

Class Phyaeophyceae, contains orders that can be organized according to their life cycles:

A

Isogenerate: exhibit isomorphic alternation of generations

Heterogenerate: exhibit heteromorphic alternation of generations

Cyclosporae: do not exhibit alternation of generations

33
Q

Order Ectocarpales
-life cycle
-appearance
-anchorage

A

-isogenerate life cycle
-branched filamentous (thalli) forming bushy organisms from a few to 15cm in length.
-horizontal rhizoid-like structure penetrate the substrate for anchorage

34
Q

Life cycle of Ectocarpus

A

-haploid and diploid phases are both filamentous

-diploid individuals produce unilocular meiosporangia; these are sporangia which produce meiospores (zoospores). The diploid individuals also produce plurilocular sporangia (many chambers) in which each chamber produced one “swarmer”
-The gametophyte produces only plurilocular structures. These could be zoosporangia, producing asexual zoospores, or gametangia, producing flagellated isogametes

-nuclei of unilocular mother cells divide meiotically to produce haploid zoospores. These are about twice the size of the gametes produced by haploid plurilocular sporangia. These haploid zoospores germinate to produce haploid gametophytes. Since the diploid sporophytes and the haploid gametophytes look the same, we can say that is is an example of isomorphic alternation of generations

Motile gametes are all the same size. Females settle down on the substrate and chemically attract male gametes, which fuse with them to form a zygote (2n). These zygotes develop in to the diploid plants

35
Q

Asexual reproduction in Ectocarpus

A

-plurilocular sporangia of diploid generation produce diploid zoospores by Mitosis. These germinate into sporophytes, just like the parents. Haploid gametophytes also produce plurilocular structures. The plurilocular structures on the gametophyte are smaller than those of the sporophyte, they can produce either zoospores, or gametes (all by mitosis)

36
Q

Order Laminariales
-life cycle type
-common name
-anatomy of kelp

40
Q

Morphology of Laminaria sp.

A

-distinct alternation of generations

-sporophytes are large and long-lived (blades up to 100m). Are parenchymous with growth from an intercalary meristem between the stipe and the blade, which adds tissue to both.

-gametophytes are much smaller and filamentous

41
Q

Sexual reproduction in Laminaria sp is ________

A

Oogamous

42
Q

Holdfast

A

Site of firm attachment of the kelp to the substrate by the growth of rhizoidal cells from the outer meristematic cells.

These rhizoidal cells fill every microscopic crevice of the substrate until an exact profile of the substrate is built.

43
Q

3 tissue regions found in the sporophyte of Laminaria

A

Central medulla
Cortex and epidermis

44
Q

At the thallus surface are the ________, _______ cells of the meristoderm, which add to the girth of the organ in Laminaria so

A

Photosynthetic
Meristematic

45
Q

Life cycle of Laminaria sp.

A

Along length of the blade are found regions of epidermis called “sori”. These spring are composed of unilocular sporangia, intermingles with sterile “paraphrases” (filamentous strucures found packed between sporangia or gametangia). The unilocular meiosporangia produce 32 haploid meiospres. These meiospores settle to the substrate and produce the small filamentous gametophyte generation. The male gametophytes form mall colourless antheridia, that produce motile, biflagellate sperm. The females form elongated Oogonia. A single egg is released from the oogonium prior to fertilization. After fertilization, the zygote germinates to form a flat pro-embryo that subsequently differentiates into the mature sporophyte
