Question

In a paramecium, the nucleus divides first and then the cytoplasm divides, forming two identical daughter cells. Which type of reproduction takes place in paramecia? A. fission, B. budding, C. fragmentation.

Answer 1

Paramecium is a eukaryote which means it is unicellular and is a protozoan which reproduces asexually. This means there is no need of using gametes or sex cells to create an offspring. The type of reproduction of paramecium is A>fission

Answer 2

The correct option is A.

Binary fission is a method asexual reproduction in which a single parent cell divide into two daughter cells that are of equal size. Each daughter cell produced has the capacity to grow into the size of its parent. This type of reproduction is common in prokaryotes. The prokaryotes usually copy their DNA molecules before proceeding to divide into two.
