Sir according to wittakers 5 kingdom classification, kingdom protista has brought togeather chlamydomonas and spirogyra which were erlier placed in alage within plantae but in 3rd chapter of kingdom plantae chlorella and chlamydomonas are still included and mentioned under alage in kingdom plantae but they are unicellular eukaryotic so in case they shoud be placed under protista only, so why is it so and whats real position of that?
In earlier classification schemes, it was placed under plantae in sub category algae and the sole reason of it would be presence of cell wall in both. But in latest schemes of classification as of whittaker which hosted other features apart from gross morphology like cell structure and mainly phylogeny, from which chlamydomonas were placed in a kingdom especially meant for unicellular eukaryotes Protista. For now, Chlamydomonas is a member of protista.
But in NCERT chap.er 3 Plantae kingdom is not according to wittakers recent scheme of classification ? coz it still includes chlamydomonas under algae
We can say that in chapter 3, it is not according to wittakers recent scheme of classification.
THANK U...
ok
Acc. To NCERT Ch. 3 , life cycle of many algae is haplontic and name of Chalmydomonas is also there so is it true that life cycle of chlamydomonas is haplontic ?
Yes
