Description

A class of algae in the division of chlorophyta which is filamentous and slimy. This photo shows differences between vegetative Spirogyra (on the right) and the one undergoing sexual reproduction(on the left). Genetic materials are transferred through the conjugation tubes and oval shape zygote is formed. Meanwhile, the vegetative form of Spirogyra is indicated by the long ribbon-shaped chloroplast.

Very clear and informative description! Unfortunately, the tagged areas are too big so the highlighted features are not clearly shown...would you try to retag with smaller boxes?
