|
The paramecium is a single-celled organism that reproduces asexually. The offspring of a paramecium usually contain
|
|
only half of the genes of the parent cells
|
|
|
more DNA than the parent cell
|
|
|
genetic material identical to that of the parent cell
|
|
|
fewer mutations than the parent cell
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent.
Detailed explanation-2: -Paramecium reproduces asexually by transverse binary fission, in which the micronucleus passes through characteristic stages of mitosis, whereas the macronucleus simply divides by amitosis. The mature cell divides into two cells and each grows rapidly and develops into a new organism.
Detailed explanation-3: -In asexual reproduction, only a single parent is involved. So, the offspring produced are genetically identical to the parent and to each other as well. Such offspring are called clones. Hence, the offspring are genetically identical to themselves and their parents.
