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, where one paramecium divides to form two new paramecia, so the statement about a new paramecium forming when another divides is true.
• A single cell division in an African violet petal cell does not result in a new plant. A new plant from a plant cell usually requires tissue - culture techniques or specific reproductive processes like vegetative propagation.
• Before a plant cell (like an African violet cell) divides, it replicates its organelles to ensure each new cell has the necessary components, so this statement is true.
• Paramecia are single - celled organisms. When a paramecium divides, it 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.
