Algae are capable of rapid multiplication in short duration. Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The lifespan of algae are short and the life cycle is shortest. Therefore, algae generally propagate by asexual or vegetative methods. During favourable conditions, they reproduce by various asexual methods such as fragmentation, zoospores, aplanospores, and akinetes. The actual method of vegetative propagation depends upon the availability of water.
