21 Detail: Vegeta8ve cells are solitary (Fig. 1). AJer sexualiza8on they pair ac8vely and bond together, side-by-side (Fig. 2). Ini8ally, they look exactly the same as they did during mito8c interphase (Fig. 2). As cells enter meio8c prophase, the protoplast is reorganized through movements of the chloroplast and nucleus (Fig. 3) and the nucleus expands and becomes much more obvious than at any other 8me during the whole life cycle. The cells are now gametangia. Slight further rearrangements of the protoplast (Fig. 4) accompany an unequal cytokinesis at the end of meiosis I. Each gametangium forms a single large gamete (Fig. 4). The thecae split apart locally in the zone where the gametangia are in contact and an aperture is formed between them (note the bulges in this region in Fig. 4). The gamete from one gametangium moves through the aperture into the other gametangium, fusing with the gamete there to form a zygote (Fig. 5), leaving behind a small residual body (Fig. 5, arrow). The donor gametangium (m) can be designated as 'male', the recipient 'female'. The zygote undergoes some internal rearrangement and constructs a special wall to form an 'auxospore', which then expands at both ends to produce an elongate, cigar-shaped cell (Fig. 6), within which a new frustule is formed. Expansion is parallel to the long axis of the female gametangium. The auxospore contains two chloroplasts, one inherited from the male gametangium, the other from the female gametangium.
