A prolonged absence of light or exposure to harmful chemicals may cause atrophy and absorption of the chloroplasts without otherwise harming the organism. A number of species exists where a chloroplast's absence was formerly marked with separate genera such as Astasia (colourless Euglena ) and Hyalophacus (colourless Phacus ).
Euglena reproduce asexually through binary fission, a form of cell division. Reproduction begins with the mitosis of the cell nucleus , followed by the division of the cell itself. Euglena divide longitudinally, beginning at the front end of the cell, with the duplication of flagellar processes, gullet and stigma.
Asexual: binary fission from a partitioned parent cell. Sexual: Conjugation to form a hypnozygote. The Closterium peracerosum-strigosum-littorale (C. psl) complex is a unicellular, isogamous charophycean alga cells that is the closest unicellular relative to land plants. These algae are capable of forming two types of dormant diploid zygospores.
A 100-mile-long bloom of red tide is floating off Southwest Florida, prompting warnings about respiratory irritation and potential fish kills on area beaches. Experts say weather could be helping ...
The thick algae on Lake Okeechobee has caused a State of Emergency, keeping the water behind the flood gates and stopping the spread down the rivers and eventually the coast. Algae causes State of ...
Living in Florida like being in disaster movie. Climate change -- in the form of hot oceans, toxic algae blooms -- pose challenge to state
Fission in the mitotic phase of cell division of green algae forms autospores. Cells may use different methods to produce different numbers of autospores or multinucleated autospores; for example, the Dictyochloropsis genus of algae can produce between 4 and 16 autospores when they reproduce.
