Question
Chapter 26, Problem 2Q
Summary Introduction
To review:
Whether there is a reason to favor choosing one particular genus of dinoflagellates over others or not while studying apicomplexans. In case, the answer is yes, name the genus giving its valid reason for selection.
Introduction:
Dinoflagellates are the important primary producers of organic matter in water bodies like oceans. These are the alveolates, which generally have two flagella around equatorial and longitudinal grooves. They are basically the large group of flagellate eukaryotes, which comprises phylum dinoflagllata.
