Their female sex organ, known as the carpogonium, consists of a uninucleate region that functions as the egg and a trichogyne or projection that acts as a receptacle.
Their female sex organ, known as the carpogonium, consists of a uninucleate region that functions as the egg and a trichogyne or projection that acts as a receptacle. Fertilization is followed by three life phases: tetrasporophyte, gametophyte, and carposporophyte. Featuring an enormous morphological range, which vary from the hard corallina species to the edible chondrus, their usual color results from masking of chlorophyll by phycobilin  pigments. Including the Gracilaria and Gelidium species from which scientists harvest Agar, these are, FTP, members of what taxonomic division that despite their common name don't necessarily have to be red in color.
