Which of the following results from conjugation in Paramecium?
Correct answer: B. Cell division
- A. Cell death
- B. Cell division
- C. Budding
- D. Recombination
Explanation
The process of sexual reproduction in paramecium is termed conjugation. During conjugation, two sexually opposite paramecium mate and exchange their hereditary material. At last, it results in the formation of a diploid zygote. The zygote becomes the new paramecium by meiosis. Hence, cell division is the result of conjugation in paramecium.

About Kingdom Protista
Kingdom Protista contains mainly unicellular eukaryotes, although some forms are colonial or multicellular, with varied nutritional and reproductive methods. Questions examine protozoans, algae and examples such as Amoeba, Paramecium and Euglena, while distinguishing protists from prokaryotes, fungi and true plants.

All of the following are the characteristics of the kingdom Protista EXCEPT:
These protists are mostly unicellular (a few are colonial) organisms with spherical or elongated bodies with a single central nucleus. They possess from one to many long, whip-like flagella that enable them to move. Flagellates move rapidly, pulling themselves forward by lashing flexible flagella that are usually located at the anterior end. Examples include Trypanosome, Euglena, etc. The above give lines indicate which of the following groups of protozoa:
Freshwater protozoans pump out excess water by a special structure called:
This protist has isomorphic alternation of generation:
Trypanosoma is a human parasite causing:
