Statement (S): In ciliates, conjugation restores the vigour and vitality which are lost due to chromosomal imbalance in the macronuclei due to repeated amitotic divisions.

Reason (R): Conjugation is temporary union of senile ciliates belonging to same mating types. It often prevents exchange of nuclear material.
