Important Questions on Reproductive System
Identify the asexual reproductive structure in the following diagram:




(i) During favourable conditions Paramecium stops feeding after attaining its maximum growth.
(ii) At first the micronucleus divides by amitosis and the macronucleus divides into two daughter nuclei by mitosis.
(iii) The proter receives the anterior contractile vacuole, cytopharynx and cytostome from its parent individuals.
(iv) Before karyokinesis a transverse constriction appears in the middle of the body.

Statement I: The binary fission of Euglena is called homothetogenic fission because the daughter euglenae are like mirror images.
Statement II: Binary fission in Paramecium is known as perkinetal fission because it occurs at right angles to the kineties.
