Which Process in Paramecium Results in Genetic Recombination but No

Question

Which process in Paramecium results in genetic recombination but no increase in population size?
A)budding
B)meiotic division
C)conjugation
D)binary fission

Accepted Answer

Conjugation is a process in which two Paramecium cells exchange genetic material through specialized structures called conjugation tubes, resulting in genetic recombination. However, this process does not directly increase the population size as only two individuals are involved in the exchange.
