Monospore the cell from which a new plant develops in red algae that do not have alternation of generations. It develops in the monosporangium, from which it emerges into the water in the form of a bare protoplast that has a haploid nucleus, as do all cells of an algal thallus. Monospores are characteristic of Bangiophyceae and some Florideae. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
