A topic in biology that many students find challenging (and is known to appear on the DAT) is the number of chromosomes and chromatids present during the various stages of meiosis and mitosis in eukaryotes.

Chromosome and Chromatid Numbers during Mitosis and Meiosis

To first clarify this topic, it is first essential to understand some basic definitions. Chromatin is the general packaging of DNA around histone proteins – this arrangement of DNA helps to condense DNA to fit within the nucleus of the cell. Throughout most of the cell cycle, DNA is packaged in the form of chromatin. However, during mitosis and meiosis, chromatin exists in an additional level of organization known as a chromosome. Chromosomes are an even denser packaging of chromatin that are visible with a light microscope, particularly during metaphase.

First, during the S phase of interphase, the genetic material of a cell is duplicated. For clarity, one sister chromatid is shown in green, and the other blue. Full summary chart: Paramecium, an introduction. Biology teaching resources by D G Mackean. Paramecium is a ciliate protozoan.

Ciliates’ bodies are covered with fine cytoplasmic hair-like structures called cilia. Flickering movements of the cilia propel the organism through the water and also create feeding currents. Paramecium is a ciliate. In describing its structure, comparisons will be made with amoeba. It is suggested, therefore, that amoeba is studied first. Unlike amoeba, paramecium has a distinct and permanent shape and certain areas of cytoplasm, (cell organelles), are specialised to carry out specific functions. Locomotion. If paramecium encounters an obstacle, it reverses the ciliary beat and moves back. Feeding. Any undigested matter is expelled through the anal pore. Reproduction. There is also a complex sexual process in which two paramecia join by their oral surfaces.
