The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Chlorophyta**: - Chlorophyta, also known as Chlorophyceae, is a class of green algae that contain chlorophyll and are primarily aquatic. 2. **Types of Sexual Reproduction**: - There are three main types of sexual reproduction discussed: isogamy, anisogamy, and oogamy. 3. **Isogamy**: - In isogamy, both male and female gametes are of the same size and shape. They are indistinguishable from each other, meaning you cannot tell which is male and which is female. 4. **Anisogamy**: - Anisogamy involves gametes that are different in size and shape. Typically, the female gamete is larger than the male gamete, and they can be distinguished from one another. 5. **Oogamy**: - Oogamy is characterized by a large, non-motile female gamete (ovum) and a small, motile male gamete (sperm). The male gamete swims to the female gamete for fertilization. 6. **Reproductive Modes in Chlorophyta**: - Chlorophyta can reproduce sexually through all three modes: isogamy, anisogamy, and oogamy. This means they have the ability to produce offspring via any of these reproductive strategies. 7. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the mode of sexual reproduction in Chlorophyta includes both isogamy and oogamy. ### Final Answer: In Chlorophyta, the mode of sexual reproduction is isogamy and oogamy. ---
