Ethnography is the study of social interactions, behaviours, and perceptions that occur within groups, teams, organisations, and communities.
Then the cell divides in half, with one Paramecium above the other, like a short totem pole. Paramecium also reproduce sexually, and this is really weird. Two compatable cells join belly to belly and part of their cytoplasm fuses (kind of like a siamese twin). For sex, they do not need their big macronuclues: it is slowly destroyed.
Micronucleus of Paramecium. There are two types of nuclei in paramecium: Macronucleus: The larger nucleus which performs normal cell functions like respiration, protein synthesis and digestion. Micronucleus: The smaller nucleus which is responsible for cell division and used only during reproduction. The nuclei of Paramecium differ in both structure and function. The diploid micronucleus, which is present in two copies in the P. tetraurelia species, represents the germ line and is completely silent in terms of transcription. This is the nucleus which undergoes meiosis and fertilization during sexual events.
