The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which organism produces both flagellate isogametes and flagellate anisogametes, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Terms**: - **Isogametes**: These are gametes that are of similar size and shape. - **Anisogametes**: These are gametes that are of different sizes and shapes. - **Flagellate**: This term indicates that the gametes have flagella, which means they are motile. 2. **Identify the Organisms**: - The options provided are Spirogyra, Fucus, Angiosperms, and Chlamydomonas. 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Spirogyra**: This is a green alga that produces non-motile gametes (isogamous) and does not have flagellate gametes. Therefore, it cannot produce flagellate isogametes or anisogametes. - **Fucus**: This is a brown alga that reproduces via oogamy, where one gamete is large and non-motile (egg), and the other is small and motile (sperm). It does not produce isogametes or anisogametes. - **Angiosperms**: These are flowering plants that do not produce gametes in the same way as algae. They primarily reproduce through seeds and do not produce flagellate gametes. - **Chlamydomonas**: This is a unicellular green alga that can produce both flagellate isogametes (similar size) and flagellate anisogametes (different sizes). It is known for its motile gametes, which have flagella. 4. **Conclusion**: - The only organism that produces both flagellate isogametes and flagellate anisogametes is **Chlamydomonas**. ### Final Answer: **Chlamydomonas** produces flagellate isogametes as well as flagellate anisogametes. ---
