Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
The fusing gametes in the lower forms of algae are alike in size, structure and behaviour.
They are indistinguishable as to sex.
Such gametes are called the isogametes.
Sexual reproduction which involves the fusion of isogametes is termed isogamous.
It is a primitive type of sexual reproduction.
