Document Summary
It has flagella, which is the same structure as the cilia in human lung. It has chloroplast, which is the same structure as the plant leaves for photosynthesis. It has a considerable size that is easy for representing typical eukaryotic cells. It has traits that resembles a plant: ability to photosynthesis. Most part of the eyespot sits in the chloroplast. Ribosome (some are intermediately associates with the er, while some aren"t) Chlamydomonas diverge early in the branch of plants, so it belongs to the group called green algae. It shares the characteristic of ability to photosynthesis, but do not share other characteristic of plants such as baring flowers, fruits or having leaves. It can produce by either asexual or sexual reproduction. Most of chlamydomonas life span is haploid, mature cells has only one copy of each gene. It can reproduce by asexual reproduction, which will produce zoospore as offspring.
