…Alveolata include around six major groups. They are diverse in form, and are known to be related by various ultrastructural and genetic similarities: Ciliophora – very common protozoa with many short cilia arranged in rows, and two nuclei Dinoflagellata s.l. – mostly marine flagellates many of which have…
