Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ciliates contain two types of nuclei: a micronucleus and a macronucleus.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ciliates are the largest (c.8, 000 species) and the most complex of the Protozoans. They are found in both aquatic and terrestrial habitats and many are carnivorous. Ciliates have two nuclei (macronucleus and micronucleus) and a variety of organelles, such as a cystome (mouth).
Detailed explanation-3: -Ciliates are single-celled eukaryotes that harbor two kinds of nuclei. The germline micronuclei function only to perpetuate the genome during sexual reproduction; the macronuclei are polyploid, somatic nuclei that differentiate from the micronuclear lineage at each sexual generation.
