Isogamous fertilisation is the fusion of two similar gametes while anisogamous fertilisation is fusion of two morphologically dissimilar motile gametes. In Rhodophyceae, the major pigments are chlorophyll ‘a’ and ‘d’ but the stored food is floridean starch.

b and e alone are correct

c and e alone are correct

a and b alone are correct

a and d alone are correct

b and d alone are correct

Isogamous fertilisation is the fusion of two similar gametes while anisogamous fertilisation is fusion of two morphologically dissimilar motile gametes. In Rhodophyceae, the major pigments are chlorophyll ‘a’ and ‘d’ but the stored food is floridean starch.
