Instructions
This exercise is to review the terms karyotypes and pedigrees, and to give examples.
a karyotype is the complement of chromosomes (e.g., 2n = 46 in humans) that constitute the genetic material of a eukaryote; photomicrograph of an individual's chromosomes arranged in a standard format showing the number, size, and shape of each chromosome type for chromosomes 1-22. Chromosome pair 23 shows the sex chromosomes - again, XX female, XY is male (all males must have at least one Y)
For each of the five karyotypes , I will be asking three questions
1. what gender is the baby?
2. is the chromosome number normal or abnormal?
3. where is the abnormality? what is the name of the abnormality?
