How Paramoecium reproduces sexually? In Paramoecium a peculiar type of sexual reproduction known as conjugation takes place. In conjugation there is an exchange of micronuclear material without the fusion of the cytoplasm.
This free living protozoa reproduces by asexual and sexual methods. In Paremoecium, the asexual reproduction is caused by transverse binary fission. Binary Fission: Just before division the animal ceases feeding, the central portion of the body bulges. Micronucleus increases in size and fine spindle fibres are formed. Chromosomes divide eumitotically passing through all the stages [...]

The rapid swimming is facilitated by the beating of fine and hair-like cellular organelles, called cilia, that cover the animal’s entire cell-body. Paramoecium moves with [...]
