At the time where two cells contact and their pellicles fuse, the macro nuclei are degraded. The micronuclei divide by meiosis but only one haploid nucleus from each micronucleus survives and ultimately divides by mitosis, one nucleus being stationary and the other migratory.

The cells separate. This description characterizes
