Life form / Life stage (?) |
References (not structured): http://www.terranea.it/personali/alghe/scheda10.htm Accesed 14 November 2011 Comments: The life-cycle of A. pectinatum is composed by three distinct stages (triphasic or trigenetic cycle), the tetrasporophyte (diploid), the gametophyte (aploid) and the carposporophyte (diploid). The union of male and female aploid gametophytes, produce a carposporophyte, a separate generation (2n) often housed within a cystocarp. These spores are eventually released into the water column, settle on a hard surface and germinate, then grow into another generation known as the tetrasporophyte (2n). These tetrasporophytes then produce tetrasporangia (by meiosis, resulting in four 1n spores) that are released into the water column and germinate and grow into more male and female gametophytes. |
