The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the male and female gametes in Fucus, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Organism**: - Fucus is a genus of brown algae, commonly found in marine environments. 2. **Understand Gamete Characteristics**: - In many organisms, gametes can be classified based on their motility. Male gametes are often motile, while female gametes are typically non-motile. 3. **Determine Male Gamete Characteristics**: - In Fucus, the male gamete is known to be motile. This means it has the ability to move, usually due to the presence of flagella. 4. **Determine Female Gamete Characteristics**: - The female gamete (ova) in Fucus is non-motile. This means it does not have the ability to move on its own and is typically larger than the male gamete. 5. **Conclude the Answer**: - Based on the characteristics of the gametes in Fucus, we can conclude that the male gamete is motile and the female gamete is non-motile. Therefore, the correct answer is option C: motile and non-motile respectively. ### Final Answer: The male and female gametes in Fucus are motile and non-motile respectively (Option C). ---
