What are the functions of the macronucleus and one or more small micronuclei in Paramecium?
A) The macronucleus undergoes meiosis to produce haploid micronuclei that are exchanged in conjugation; this then produces a micronucleus for general cell housekeeping.
B) The micronucleus undergoes meiosis to produce haploid micronuclei that are exchanged in conjugation; the macronucleus is responsible for the "day-to-day" functions of the cell.
C) Diploid micronuclei control the cell and the haploid macronuclei are exchanged in conjugation for reproduction.
D) A micronucleus is always (1n) for conjugative reproduction, the macronucleus functions for general cell coding, and the two are otherwise unrelated.
E) None of the choices are correct.
