Please use the following information to answer the questions below.
Paulinella chromatophora is one of the few cercozoans that is autotrophic,carrying out aerobic photosynthesis with its two elongated "cyanelles." The cyanelles are contained within vesicles of the host cell,and each is derived from a cyanobacterium,though not the same type of cyanobacterium that gave rise to the chloroplasts of algae and plants.
-What must occur for asexual reproduction to be successful in P.chromatophora?
1)mitosis
2)S phase
3)meiosis
4)equal distribution of cyanelles during cytokinesis
A)1 only
B)1 and 2 only
C)1,2,and 3
D)1,2,and 4
E)2,3,and 4

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Asexual reproduction in P. chromatophora requires mitosis and S phase for DNA replication, as well as an equal distribution of cyanelles during cytokinesis to ensure each daughter cell has the necessary organelles. Meiosis is not necessary for asexual reproduction. Therefore, choices 1, 2, and 4 are necessary for successful asexual reproduction in P. chromatophora.
