The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Chlamydomonas**: - Chlamydomonas is a genus of unicellular green algae. Each organism consists of a single cell, which is capable of carrying out all necessary life processes. 2. **Types of Reproduction**: - Chlamydomonas can reproduce both asexually and sexually. The focus here is on sexual reproduction. 3. **Identifying Modes of Sexual Reproduction**: - **Isogamy**: This is a type of sexual reproduction where the gametes (reproductive cells) are of similar size and shape. In Chlamydomonas, both gametes are indistinguishable in morphology. - **Anisogamy**: This type involves the fusion of gametes that are dissimilar in size. In Chlamydomonas, this can occur when gametes differ in size or morphology. - **Oogamy**: This is a specific type of anisogamy where the male gamete is smaller than the female gamete. Chlamydomonas can also exhibit this mode of reproduction. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since Chlamydomonas can reproduce through isogamy, anisogamy, and oogamy, the correct answer to the question is that Chlamydomonas shows all of the above modes of sexual reproduction. 5. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the answer to the question "Chlamydomonas shows" is **all the above** (isogamy, anisogamy, and oogamy). ---
