During conjugation of Paramecium caudatum, there are two well-known stages when nuclear migration occurs. What happens to the nuclei is closely related to their localisations in cells. The first of these stages is the entrance of one meiotic product into the paroral region. This nucleus survives, wh

The conjugation of Halteria grandinella was studied in protargol preparations. The isogamontic conjugants fuse partially with their ventral sides to a homopolar pair. The first maturation division generates dramatic transformations: (i) the partners obtain an interlocking arrangement; (ii) the numbe

… In Paramecium caudatum, whether synkaryon division products will become germinal micronuclei or somatic macronuclei is associated with their brief anteroposterior localization in the cell at the end of the third synkaryon division. …
