Solution

Isogametes

  1. Gametes produced by two different parents that are morphologically identical to each other are called isogametes.
  2. The isogametes are generally similar in shape and size.
  3. The fusion of such gametes is called isogamy.
  4. Ulothrix, Spirogyra, and Rhizopus are some examples that produce isogametes.
  5. These haploid gametes are produced by two different parents and so have a different genetic makeup.
  6. Isogametes are produced to undergo sexual reproduction.
  7. Thus isogametes are morphologically identical to each other but are not genetically similar. They have biochemical and physiological differences.
