Why is it important to limit the quantity of cells used to prepare smear?

By applying to many cell in a smear it would become difficult to study the morphology of single cell as they will form clumps for e.g. if we want to study some cocci then it would be difficult to estimate there occurence i.e. either they are in chain or in cluster or may be diplococci or monococci.

∙ 15y agoWhen we prepare smear, the quantity of cells should be carefully checked. The smear should nither to thick nor to thin as if the smear will be thick it will create problem in viewing exact morphology and arrangement of cells due to overlaping and also will create problem in viewing undermicroscope light which will not be able to pass and reflect through thick smear. Now for thin smear the stain can readially damage the cell structure and cells can also be washed out when wash with water or alcohol which leads to no cell observation.

∙ 9y agoIt is important to carefully check the number of cells in a smear preparation. If it is too thick, it will be difficult to view the morphology of the cells. On the other hand, if the smear is too thin, the stain could potentially damage the cells.

∙ 11y agoIt is important not to overcrowd smears as too many cells will be present on the slide, and thus, will have a greater resistance to decolorization required for visibility. Thinly smeared bacteria decolorise much more rapidly than thickly smeared bacteria.

∙ 11y agobecause if there are to many cells and they are overlapping it is hard to distinguish there morphology

How does mitosis limit genetic variation?
Mitosis is the part of the non sexual cells. These cells do not help reproduce anything with variation. When these cells replicate the replicate in the exact same way, remaining unchanged. this is the reason mitosis limits genetic variation.

How many cells does a multi-cellular organism have?
There isn't a strict limit. At some point an organism may become simply too large to maintain itself but the exact number of cells such an organism might have is incalculable.
2 cell types that have no hayflick limit?
- Bacteria, because their chromosomes doesn't have telomeres- Cancer cell, because the telomerasegene in DNA is expressed and makes the cancerous cells almost immortal- Stem cells (for the same reason)- Germline(for the same reason)

What do Proto-oncogenes regulate?
Proto-oncogenes stop cells dividing too often. When a mutation occurs to proto-oncogenes this is when cancer can occur, as there is then no hay-flick limit (normally cells have a limit to how many times then can divide) cells are able to replicate uncontrollably.

How do cells connect with cancer?
Cancer are cells that do not limit their self-division. It is this flagrant growth that forms a tumour. The cancer cells are interconnected with benign cells in the same way that the benign cells connect with each other.

Some cells have glycocalyces and this then would be the outermost part of the cell for them but all cells must have a plasma membrane and therefore I think this would be the best answer to the question.
