Question

A paramecium reproduces by dividing itself intotwo​

Answer 1

Answer:

Paramecium reproduces asexually, by binary fission. During reproduction, the macronucleus splits by a type of amitosis, and the micronuclei undergo mitosis. The cell then divides transversally, and each new cell obtains a copy of the micronucleus and the macronucleus.

Paramecium (also Paramoecium, /ˌpærəˈmiːʃ(i)əm/, PARR-ə-MEE-sh(ee-)əm, /-siəm/, -⁠see-əm)[1] is a genus of unicellular ciliates, commonly studied as a representative of the ciliate group. Paramecia are widespread in freshwater, brackish, and marine environments and are often very abundant in stagnant basins and ponds. Because some species are readily cultivated and easily induced to conjugate and divide, it has been widely used in classrooms and laboratories to study biological processes. Its usefulness as a model organism has caused one ciliate researcher to characterize it as the "white rat" of the phylum Ciliophora.[2]
