- W2912270764 abstract "The brown seaweeds (Phaeophyta) are well-suited for testing theories of the evolution of the sexual alternation of haploid and diploid generations because of the great diversity of life cycles within the phylum. Three theories are investigated in this paper. (1) Diploid growth evolves because it has the effect of complementing deleterious recessive mutations. This is rejected because (a) ancestral haplonty is not a parsimonious inference from current phylogenies; (b) the exaggeration of diploid growth does not evolve in a comb-like fashion; (c) forms with predominantly haploid growth have evolved from smaller isomorphic ancestors; and (d) there is no correlation between haploid growth and monoecy. (2) Diploid growth evolves when gamete dimorphism leads to intense sexual selection, favouring the production of genetically diverse gametes through meiosis. This is rejected because diere is no correlation between the dominance of the diploid generation and the degree of gamete dimorphism. It is possible to show that gamete dimorphism itself has evolved in the Phaeophyta through the increase in size of the macrogamete in forms that have evolved larger sporophytes. (3) Microthalli become specialized as gametophytes because fusion is promoted by releasing gametes into the boundary layer; macrothalli become specialized as sporophytes because dispersal is promoted by releasing zoospores into the water column. This is consistent with the sexual and reproductive biology of Phaeophyta. The classic sexual cycle can then be interpreted as evolving from an asexual alternation of microthallus and macrothallus, governed largely by environmental factors, through selection for the appropriate association of ploidy with vegetative size. The exceptions to this general rule are forms in which gametes are released from macrothalli, where a different suite of sexual characters has evolved." @default.
