- Determine whether the chromosomes of an adult have an abnormality that can be passed on to a child.
- Determine whether a chromosome defect is preventing a woman from becoming pregnant or causing miscarriages.
- Determine whether a chromosome defect is present in a fetus. Karyotyping also may be done to determine whether chromosomal problems may have caused a fetus to be stillborn.
- Determine the cause of a baby's birth defects or disability.
- Help determine the appropriate treatment for some types of cancer.
- Identify the sex of a person by determining the presence of the Y chromosome. This may be done when a newborn's sex is not clear.

What are shown on a karyotypes?
All of the chromosomes found in an organism.
How are karyotypes associated with genetic diseases?
no and it is steryotype they just might be weird
What are micrograph images used to study chromosomes called?
karyotypes
What structure shows the cells chromosomes?
karyotypes are taken during metaphase
How can karyotypes detect non disjunction?
Karyotypes can detect non disjunction by showing abnormal chromosome numbers. Non disjunction occurs when chromosomes fail to separate properly during cell division, leading to an imbalance of chromosomes in the resulting cells. Karyotypes can be analyzed to identify any extra or missing chromosomes, indicating the occurrence of non disjunction.
How might karyotypes be useful to doctors?
Doctors can use karyotypes to determine the sex of an individual. They can also use karyotypes to determine whether an individual has an abnormal number of chromosomes or noticeable chromosomal mutations, such as large deletions, additions, or translocations.
What is everything a karyotype is used for?
Karyotypes, along with morphogens, determine the Physical Shape of Organisms.
What are the karyotypes of diabetes?
there are no karyotypes of diabetes
When during mitosis are karyotypes made?
Cells in metaphase are used to produce karyotypes.
What can karyotypes be used for?
Karyotyping is a diagram of ones chromosomes and is used to help determine if a baby will inherit any genetic disorders. Overall, Karyotyping is useful in studing chromosomes and how they work.
What is bimodal karyotype?
Asymmetric karyotypes that are composed of small and large chromosomes with no intermediates states (bimodal karyotypes),for example Agave and Yucca genera from the family Agavaceae.
What are shown on a karyotypes?
All of the chromosomes found in an organism.
What are karyotypes found in?
A karyotype is the characteristic chromosome complement of a eukaryote species. In essence karyotypes describe your chromosomes. for more information go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karyotype
