Pandorina is a colonial member of the family Volvocaceae. It is an
ovoid colony of eight Chlamydomonas-like zoospores enclosed in a
gelatinous sheath. Cells divide internally to form daughter colonies,
and sexual reproduction occurs through the formation of isogametes or
anisogametes. I hope this helps.
