Ques. 1AIPMT 2002

In which of the following animals dimorphic nucleus is found?

  1. Amoeba proteus
  2. Trypanosoma gambiense
  3. Plasmodium vivax
  4. Paramecium caudatum

Answer

(4) Paramecium caudatum

Solution

Ciliated protozoans such as Paramecium have two types of nuclei (nuclear dimorphism):

Macronucleus – large, polyploid; controls the vegetative (metabolic) functions.

Micronucleus – small, diploid; concerned with reproduction (conjugation).

⇒ Amoeba, Trypanosoma and Plasmodium have only one type of nucleus.

∴ Dimorphic nucleus is found in Paramecium caudatum.
