The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Kappa Particles**: Kappa particles are symbiotic bacteria found in the cytoplasm of certain strains of Paramecium. They are known to be gram-negative bacteria. 2. **Identifying the Role of Kappa Particles**: These kappa particles release a toxin called paramecin when they are released into the environment. This toxin is lethal to other strains of Paramecium that do not have these kappa particles. 3. **Differentiating Between Types of Paramecia**: There are two types of Paramecia mentioned: - **Sensitive Paramecia**: These are strains that do not produce the killer toxin and are susceptible to the effects of paramecin. - **Killer Paramecia**: These strains contain kappa particles and can produce the killer toxin, which allows them to kill sensitive Paramecia. 4. **Conclusion**: Since kappa particles are specifically associated with killer Paramecia, the correct answer to the question is that kappa particles are present in the cytoplasm of **killer Paramecia**. ### Final Answer: Kappa particles are present in the cytoplasm of **killer Paramecia**. ---
