Can algae reproduce both asexually and sexually?

Answer 1

Yes it does. (but not always)

Algae is not technically a plant it is a protista, Algae reproduce by using little spores or by growing copies of themselves from broken fragments and do not have specialised reproductive structures like all other plants.

If the spores are created using just one plant it is asexual.

If spores are created when two (one female, one male) algae fuse it is sexual.

And lastly when it reproduces by growing copies of itself it is called vegetative reproduction.

Answer 2

Algae reproduce in a variety of ways. The simplest forms of algae reproduce by simple cell division. Others reproduce by spores, fragmentation or reproduce sexually.

Answer 3

Mitosis is the most common way of algae reproduction.

Answer 4

algae does not have leaves or stems but it has the main element of reproduction in plants. so, it does reproduce.
Oh yes, algae, like all other existing species, can reproduce.

Answer 5

Yes. Different species of algae reproduce differently.

Answer 6

This depends upon the algae in question. Some algae do reproduce sexually, but the majority reproduce asexually either through fragmentation or budding.

Answer 7

no
