In this article we will discuss about the reproduction in basillariophyta. This will also help you to draw the structure and diagram of reproduction in bacillariophyta. Diatom cells multiply usually by a peculiar method of cell division. An increase in the volume of the frustule results in a slight separation of the valves which is followed by mitotic division of [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Features of Bacillariophyta 2. Classification of Bacillariophyta 3. Relationship 4. Phylogeny. Features of Bacillariophyta: The Bacillariophyta, commonly known as the diatoms, are ubiquitous algae of both fresh- and salt-water and of damp places including aerial habitats as, old walls, rocky cliffs, bark of trees, and damp soils. Some are submerged in water [...]
In this article we will discuss about the general features and phylogenetic relationships of euglenophyta. General Features of Euglenophyta: The Euglenophyta represent mostly unicellular naked motile individuals which usually occur in fresh-water. Some species form dendroid colony. The thallus possesses a definite nucleus and the grass-green colour is due to the presence of chlorophyll localized in chromatophores. Few species lack [...]
