Most primitive plant conjugation
As a precursor to more complex forms of bisexual reproduction a number of simple plant and
animal species
learned to "con jugate", i.e. to exchange genetic material between the individuals within a
species in such a way
that the offspring could be distinct from either parent. The classic example among plants is
Pandorina, a 16-cell
species: the cells are loosely attached and each has a pair of flagella, of protoplasmic whips,
for the purpose of
locomotion through the water. To reproduce, the cells separate and fuse with the similar cells
from another
floating colony. The common bread mould represents another instance of primitive plant
conjugation. The mould
grows in the form of a mass of microscopic threads collectively known as a mycelium. Threads
of two different
kinds come together to form a special type of spore in which a blending of genetic material has
taken place. It
may be fanciful to call the two kinds of threads, respectively, male and female, but this is a
clear instance of early
bisexual reproduction.
