Chromosomes • Karyotype: • ordered display of an individual’s chromosomes. • Collection of chromosomes from mitotic cells. • Staining can reveal visible band patterns, gross anomalies.
Karyotyping Meiosis KM
Karyotypes arrange chromosomes in order by size: Largest to smallest
Chromosomes Some large like #1 Some small like #22
Same Length Centromere in same location Same bands (genes) Homologous pairs
Centromere Position • The centromere is not exactly in the center of the chromosome • “p” arm: (p=petite) the shorter arm of the chromosome • “q” arm: the longer arm of the chromosome
Locus (plural=loci) • The position that a given gene occupies on a chromosome. (Its like an address for your genes) • Written like this: 15p23
Example: 15p23=Chrom 15 small arm, 23rd band from the centromere
*Having 3 chromosomes of each kind instead of 2*Normally trisomy results in death. Trisomy: 1 Example
Down Syndrome: a genetic condition in which the individual has 3 copies of the 21st chromosome. Genotype: 3 copies of 21st chromosome
