Question 1 Report

Which of the following is TRUE of the process of conjugation in Paramecium?
Answer Details
The TRUE statement regarding the process of conjugation in Paramecium is that each micronucleus divides twice. During conjugation in Paramecium, two individuals exchange genetic material through their micronuclei. The micronucleus in each individual undergoes meiosis to produce four haploid nuclei. Three of these nuclei disintegrate, while the remaining haploid nucleus undergoes mitosis twice to form two nuclei. One of these nuclei becomes the new micronucleus, while the other forms the new macronucleus. Therefore, the correct option is: Each micronucleus divides twice.
