Cilia | MCQs

Explanation

Centrioles are paired barrel-shaped organelles located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope.

Explanation

 Most ciliates exchange genetic material through a process called conjugation.

This process involves the temporary union of two ciliates, during which they exchange genetic material, specifically from their micronuclei. This exchange is a form of sexual reproduction that leads to genetic recombination and diversification within the population. 

Explanation

Pellicle is a flexible outer covering found in ciliates (like Paramecium) that provides shape and protection.

It is not as rigid as a cell wall and allows movement while maintaining structural integrity.
