Karyotype: This is a method to detect defects in the chromosome. You make an image of the chromosomes and then order them according to number ( in human 23 pairs) and you match the 2 chromosomes of a pair. Now gross changes such as extra numbers of a pair or missing numbers. Using a method called FISH you can also give each individual chromosome a color. In this way you can detect translocations, meaning that a part of the chromosome has attached itself to another chromosome. Small changes such as deletions of a nucleotide are not detectable, for that you need to do a DNA analysis.
It is used in medecine to detect the cause of certain syndromes and diseases mostly inborn, or to detect the changes in cancer cells that underlie the disease
