Study on the chromosome number in the alveolate alga \kur{Chromera velia} by TSA-FISH

This thesis is focused on the chromosome-number studies in alveolate alga C. velia. This Apicomplexa-related photosynthetic organism proved to be a unique instrument for the study of Apicomplexa and their unique organelle apicoplast. To better understand the similarities and differences within these two phyla, a further chromosome analysis was needed. The first part of this thesis sums up the present knowledge about ploidy, life cycle and genome organization within C. velia and the close-relative phyla of Apicomplexa and Dinoflagellata. The second part describes our attempt to examine the ploidy and total number of chromosomes in C. velia using fluorescence in situ hybridization. The ploidy of C. velia was successfully determined and we also made a significant progress in the determination of the total chromosome number. (max. 4000 znaků)
