Vegetative by fragmentation or fission.

Asexual by Zoospores.

Sexual by Isogamous to oogamous.

- wherein

Eg. All gymnosperms and angiosperms,diatoms,some brown algae (Fucus and sargassum )

 

 In Equisetum gametophytes are rarely seen. Riccia (bryophyte) has less developed sporophyte. Volvox (Algae) exhibits oogamous type of sexual reproduction. In shine molds thick cell walls are present. In Grinkgol Gymnosperms gametophytes are dependent on sporophyte
