Genetic information in Paramecium is contained in:

1. micronucleus
2. macronucleus
3. both micronucleus and macronucleus
4. mitochondria

Correct answer: both micronucleus and macronucleus

Solution

Paramecium contains two types of nuclei: the micronucleus and the macronucleus. The micronucleus carries hereditary genetic material, while the macronucleus also contains DNA and controls the cell’s everyday activities, so genetic information is present in both.
