Division of the exconjugant into daughter paramoecia:

Each exconjugant, with a single micronucleus and four macronuclei divides twice and forms four daughter paramoecia.
Each daughter paramoecium receives one macronucleus from the exconjugant.
The single micronucleus of the exconjugant divides twice along with the exconjugant and each daughter paramoecium receives one micronucleus.
Thus each of the four daughter paramoecia receive one macro and one micro nuclei
Note that only the micronucleus of the exconjugants undergoes mitotic division while the macronuclei does not divide. They are distributed to the daughter
paramoecia from the exconjugant.
Thus by conjugation a single paramoecium produces four daughter paramoecia.
Finally at the end of conjugation 8-daughter paramoecia are formed from two parental paramoecia.
