Protists named for having these structures separate DNA into micro·nuclei, which carry the germline but do not express genes, and macro·nuclei, which do the opposite. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name these structures that grow out of basal bodies on the surface of many eukaryotic cells. They lend their name to the group of protists that includes Paramecium.
ANSWER: cilia [or ciliate protists; or Ciliophora; reject “hairs”]
[10e] Ciliates contrast with protists that move around by thrashing these long whip-like organelles.

ANSWER: Euglena [or euglenids]
