The number of daughter paramecia produced following conjugation is _______ ?
Correct answer: B. 8 from two conjugants
- A. 8 from one conjugant
- B. 8 from two conjugants
- C. 16 from two conjugants
- D. 8-16 from two conjugants
Explanation
After conjugation, each of the two Paramecium conjugants generally undergoes two successive divisions, producing four daughter paramecia from each and eight from the pair. Students may choose 16 by assuming that each of four products divides again, but the standard stated result is eight daughter paramecia from two conjugants.
