Vedclass · Answer

(A) In $Thallophyta$ (specifically algae),the life cycle is typically haplontic. When fertilization occurs,it results in the formation of a diploid zygote $(2n)$. This zygote immediately undergoes meiosis (reduction division) to produce haploid $(n)$ spores. Since the zygote does not undergo mitosis to develop into a multicellular embryo,embryo formation is absent in $Thallophyta$.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(a)$ Zoospores	$(i)$ Fusion between one large non-motile female gamete and a smaller motile male gamete.
$(b)$ Isogamous	$(ii)$ Flagellated (motile) asexual spores.
$(c)$ Anisogamous	$(iii)$ Gametes can be flagellated and similar in size.
$(d)$ Oogamous	$(iv)$ Fusion of two gametes dissimilar in size.

In Thallophyta,embryo formation does not occur because:
