Abstract

The evolutionary aspects of ontogenesis in green volvocine algae have been considered on the basis of the author's and published data, as well as the information on taxonomy, phylogeny, and ecology of this group. Analysis of the rate, diurnal rhythm, and light/dark control of cell divisions in various species, as well as experiments with the nucleic acid and protein synthesis inhibitors made it possible to elucidate cellular mechanisms underlying evolutionary rearrangements of asexual development in the genus Volvox.
