Cytoplasmic Inheritance of Kappa Particles in Paramecium
In this article we will discuss about the Cytoplasmic Inheritance of Kappa Particles in Paramecium. One of the most striking and spectacular cases of cytoplasmic inheritance occurs in paramecium aurelia. In 1938, T.M. Sonneborn reported that some strains contain kappa particles in the cytoplasm and are known as "Killers ". Kappa particles are about 2 μ x in diameter and [...]
