The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the types of sexual reproduction (isogamous, anisogamous, and oogamous) in different classes of algae, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Types of Reproduction - **Isogamous**: This type of reproduction involves gametes that are morphologically similar (same size and shape). - **Anisogamous**: In this type, the gametes are of different sizes and shapes (one is larger, typically the female gamete). - **Oogamous**: This is a form of anisogamy where there is a large non-motile egg (female) and a smaller motile sperm (male). ### Step 2: Identify the Classes of Algae The question mentions three classes of algae: 1. **Chlorophyceae (Green Algae)** 2. **Rhodophyceae (Red Algae)** 3. **Pheophyceae (Brown Algae)** ### Step 3: Determine the Reproductive Types in Each Class - **Chlorophyceae**: Exhibits all three types of reproduction (isogamous, anisogamous, and oogamous). - **Rhodophyceae**: Primarily exhibits oogamous reproduction. - **Pheophyceae**: Exhibits all three types of reproduction (isogamous, anisogamous, and oogamous). ### Step 4: Analyze the Options Now, let’s evaluate the provided options: 1. **Chlorophyceae, Rhodophyceae, and Pheophyceae**: Incorrect, as Rhodophyceae only has oogamous reproduction. 2. **Rhodophyceae and Pheophyceae**: Incorrect, as Rhodophyceae does not have isogamous or anisogamous reproduction. 3. **Chlorophyceae and Pheophyceae**: Correct, as both classes exhibit all three types of reproduction. 4. **Chlorophyceae and Rhodophyceae**: Incorrect, as Rhodophyceae only has oogamous reproduction. ### Step 5: Conclusion Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option 3: Chlorophyceae and Pheophyceae**. ---
