Chapter 26.3, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind considering the conjugation between paramecium a sexual process, rather than a reproductive process.
Introduction:
Paramecium is a ciliate having two types of nuclei, one macronucleus and several micronuclei. It also undergoes a sexual phenomenon known as conjugation. In this process, paramecium of compatible mating types lines up against each other and fuses in the oral groove. Macronucleus does not take part in the process of conjugation.

- What is the advantage of a zoospore? It initiates karyogamy. It allows for asexual reproduction. It can resist harsh conditions. It allows for the formation of septa between nuclei.arrow_forwardIn embryophytes, especially spermatophya, what is the difference between a "sporocyte" (e.g., megasporocyte) and the actual spore (e.g., megaspore)? a) Meiosis: Megasporocyte is still diploid, megaspore haploid b) Mitosis, number of nuclei: Megaspore has eight cell nuclei, megasporocyte only one c) Cytokinesis: Megasporocyte has only one cell, Megaspore can have several (as endosporic gametophyte). d) None: the two terms are synonymous. e) Meiosis: Megaspore is still diploid, megasporocyte haploidarrow_forwardWhat is the sexual reproductin of fungi?arrow_forward
