The ciliates are characterized by two types of cores: the large nucleus, and the small nucleus.
Each cell can have more than one nucleus. The large nucleus contains many copies of the genetic material, enabling it to control the vital functions of the cell, such as feeding, disposing of waste, and maintaining water balance within the cell.
The small nucleus plays an important role in reproduction.
The ciliates reproduce not sexually via bilateral fission.
