Gildon polarus
Ancestor:Descendants:

Splitting from its ancestor, the polar gildron has developed sexual reproduction, with the center being the male part and the outer being female. When they connect to one another, genetic material is passed between individuals. Later on, both produce spores before eventually dying. Occurring in great numbers in deeper waters compared to the other Mason plankton, it requires less light and has thrived with little direct competition.
