Definitions

adj

1

Resembling chromatin.

noun

1

The part of a nucleus comprising DNA and proteins where chromosomes are formed.

We have no direct evidence that excystation occurs while the chromatoids are present. The amoeba illustrated in Fig. 27 may be excysting with chromatoids. However, this may also be artificial excystation produced by fixation.
