What are the functions of the micro nucleus and the macro nucleus in paramecium

Biology
1 answer:
kvasek [131]3 years ago
5 0

The micronucleus of paramecium is used for reproduction. The macronucleus of paramecium is used for transcription of genes, but the micronucleus is transcriptionally silent. The micronucleus undergoes meiosis prior to conjugation events, and it fuses with another haploid micronucleus from another cell to form a new paramecium cell. Micronuclei direct the formation of the macronuclei.

Answer:  The micronucleus regulates reproduction and the macronucleus regulates the vegetative functions in paramecium.

1.How would you differentiate your heart rate before and after exercising?
KATRIN_1 [288]
Your heart rate before exercising would probably be the at rest rate of say about 50-60 beats per minute whereas immediately after exercise it could easily be say 115-130 and depending on age there is an optimum heart rate for each age range which decreases somewhat with age. Timing for a full minute your heart rate is best as it will give the actual count whereas if you just do it for 10 seconds and then multply by 6  it would assume it will be consistent whereas it could decrease during the minute so the actual measured count for a full minute is more accurate.
