Most Probably because for studying the chromosomes.

Determining the structure of chromosomes, number of chromosomes, haplontic or diplontic nature, and most importantly to determine the genetic diseases like Down's syndrome in which the chromosome number is 47 while the normal human beings have 46 chromosomes i.e. 23 pairs.
