Question

petal cells of an african violet several paramecia which of the following statements are true? select all that apply. a new paramecium forms when another paramecium divides. each time an african violet cell divides, a new plant is formed. before an african violet cell divides into two cells, it copies its organelles. if a paramecium divides, it will become a multicellular organism.

Explanation:

• Paramecia reproduce asexually by binary - fission, so a new paramecium forms when another paramecium divides.
• African violet cells divide for growth, repair etc., not each division forms a new plant. But before an African violet cell divides, it copies its organelles for the new cells.
• Paramecia are single - celled organisms, and division results in two single - celled organisms, not a multicellular organism.

Answer:

A. A new paramecium forms when another paramecium divides.
C. Before an African violet cell divides into two cells, it copies its organelles.
