Noctilucales
Description | The Noctilucales are an order of marine dinoflagellates. They differ from most others in that the mature cell is diploid and its nucleus does not show a dinokaryotic organization. They show gametic meiosis. From Wikipedia article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noctilucales, which is released under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share-Alike License 3.0. | |||||||||
