Talk:Conjugation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Con jugation is the summarizing of a verb.

[edit] Conjugation in algae

"involves fusion of cells but not filaments."

What is this supposed to mean? Conjugation occurs in filamentous algae, such as the Zygnematales or Conjugales. In these, scalariform conjugation can involve nearly the entire filament. If fusion of a filament does not mean fusion of its cells, this is a meaningless distinction, since the aforementioned filamentous algae are one cell thick. Would someone explain what fusion of a filament would be? --♦♦♦Vlmastra♦♦♦ (talk) 23:35, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
