Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Spirogyra - Motile gametes

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(a) : In Spirogyra, gametes are non­motile and sexual reproduction takes place by conjugation. Sargassum belongs to Phaeophyceae group of algae. They are commonly called as ‘brown algae’ and contain photosynthetic pigments chlorophyll a andc. Puffballs are Basidomycetes with a stalked rounded structure that sends out puffs of spores, e.g., Lycoperdon oblongisporum. Nostoc is a colonial cyanobacterium. It enriches its habitat with nitrogen by fixing atmospheric nitrogen and also causes water bloom.
