Question

Study the following and pick up the correct statements:
I. As the binary fission in Paramecium occurs parallel to longitudinal axis of the body, it is called homotheogenic fission.
II. As the daughter Paramecia formed after binary fission are like mirror images, the fission is called symmetrogenic fission.
III. Multiple fission in Amoeba is called sporulation.
IV. Union of pronuclei of the gametes is called amphimixis.

• A. I, II
• B. II, III
• C. III, IV
• D. I, III

Hint:

Understanding different types of cellular reproduction is fundamental in microbiology and can help elucidate how genetic diversity is achieved in simple organisms.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Evaluating the accuracy of each statement.
Binary fission in Paramecium is called homothetogenic fission (III), and the union of pronuclei of the gametes is called amphimixis (IV). These statements accurately describe the biological processes involved in the reproduction of protists.
