Term
paramecium
Definition
macronucleus and micronucleus – don’t have same function.
have genetic exchange without eruption. Come together through process of conjugation, share micronuclei with each other so they share that info butt don’t reproduce – they can clone each other
They do exchange genetic material(step towards sexual reproduction)
Term
stramenopiles
