What type of cells can you not use for a karyotype?
Any undergoing mitosis
Why are cells arrested with colchicine during metaphase of mitosis when creating a karyotype?
colchicine is an metaphase arresting substance.
A visual display of the chromosomes of a person arranged by size shape and patterns of banding is called?
A karyotype is a visual display of the chromosomes arrangeed by size, shape, and banding pattern.
What is a picture that shows chromosomes arranged in pairs is a?
Karyotype
What is a picture of all the chromisomes in a cell?
This is known as a karyogram.
What shows chromosomes present in a cell?
A karyotype is a picture of all the chromosomes in a person's cells. A human has 46 chromosomes in all but sex cells.
How many cells are in a karotype?
A karyotype is the number and type of chromosomes within the nucleus of a cell of a species. Given that definition, the karyotype is within the cell. There can be no cells within the karyotype.
What type of cells can you not use for a karyotype?
Any undergoing mitosis
Display of all of the chromosomes in a cells nucleus?
Karyotype
What kind of information can you get from a karyotype?
A karyotype provides information about the number, size, and structure of an individual's chromosomes. It can be used to diagnose genetic disorders, identify chromosomal abnormalities, and determine the sex of an individual based on the presence of sex chromosomes.
Why are cells arrested with colchicine during metaphase of mitosis when creating a karyotype?
colchicine is an metaphase arresting substance.
What does karytype mean?
Karyotype refers to genetic testing. A karyotype is a pictorial analysis of the number, form, and size of an individual's chromosomes. Cells from any nucleated replicating body tissue (except red blood cells, nerves or muscles) can be used for testing. The most commonly used tissues are white blood cells and fetal cells in amniotic fluid. The female karyotype is 46XX chromosomes and the male karyotype is 46XY chromosomes. Karyotypes can be used to determine the sex of a child and the presence of any gross chromosomal abnormalities
What can be diagnosed by examining a karyotype of an individuals white blood cells?
Down Syndrome
What would happen if you tried to make a karyotype from isolated mature red blood cells?
You must be in genetics lab... Red blood cells do not have a nucleus therefore a karyotype cannot be assembled. The chromosomal preparations cannot be performed on the red blood cells. Thus, the reason they use white blood cells.
What is the chart of chromosomes called?
A karyotype.
A visual display of the chromosomes of a person arranged by size shape and patterns of banding is called?
A karyotype is a visual display of the chromosomes arrangeed by size, shape, and banding pattern.
What is a picture called of all the chromosome in a cell?
A picture of chromosomes is called a "karyotype."
