The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which algal members do not exhibit zoospore formation, we can analyze the options provided: 1. **Understanding Zoospore Formation**: - Zoospores are a type of asexual reproductive structure that are motile and usually have flagella. They are produced by various groups of algae. 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Chlorophyceae (Green Algae)**: This group is known for producing zoospores, which typically have two identical anterior flagella. Therefore, they do exhibit zoospore formation. - **Phaeophyceae (Brown Algae)**: Members of this group also reproduce through motile zoospores, which have two lateral flagella. Hence, they also exhibit zoospore formation. - **Cyanophyceae (Blue-Green Algae)**: This group does not produce zoospores; instead, they reproduce mainly through simple division or fragmentation. However, they are not classified as true algae in the same sense as the others. - **Sinophyceae**: This group is characterized by a lack of zoospore formation. They reproduce through simple division or fragmentation, similar to cyanophyceae. 3. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the algal members that do not form zoospores belong to the **Cyanophyceae** (Blue-Green Algae) or **Sinophyceae**. However, since the question specifically asks for algal members, the most fitting answer is **Cyanophyceae**. **Final Answer**: Cyanophyceae (Blue-Green Algae) ---
