- During asexual reproduction, Coleochaete
- produces biflagellate zoospores without eyespots
- that are discharged through a special pore.
The zoospores attach to a suitable substrate, develop
- a cell wall, and through a series of divisions
grow into a new thallus with the same morphology as
- the parent. Clonal populations can grow rapidly.
-
- Coleochaete
reproduces sexually through oogamy, forming biflagellate male
gametes and flask-shaped oogonia with long trichogynes.
