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.
In Paramecium caudatum, the stages of conjugation are as follows (see diagram at right): 1  Compatible mating strains meet and partly fuse. 2  The micronuclei undergo meiosis, producing four haploid micronuclei per cell. 3  Three of these micronuclei disintegrate. 4  The two cells exchange a micronucleus. 5  The cells then separate.
