How Does the Macronucleus Differ from the Micronucleus?
The macronucleus and micronucleus differ significantly in both structure and function. The micronucleus is smaller, diploid, and primarily involved in sexual reproduction and genetic recombination. During reproduction, the micronucleus undergoes meiosis, while the macronucleus is degraded and a new one forms from the fusion of micronuclei.
