Autogamy - Patterns of Sexual Reproduction

It is known to take place in many ciliate protozoans including Paramecium. Autogamy involves same nuclear behavior like in conjugation, but it occurs in a single individuals. Hence, there is no exchange of micro-nuclear material among two individuals, as only a single individual is involved.
