How do you arrange chromosomes in a karyotype?

Answer 1

Homologous chromosomes are identified by two main characteristics viz, size and position of the centromere.

Homologous chromosomes always have the same size. According to the position of the centromere, they may be acrocentric, metacentric, sub-metacentric and telocentric.

Answer 2

The 3 characteristics are Metacentric (centromere is centrally located so that the arms of the chromosome are of approx equal length), Submetacentric (centromere is located not quite in the center of the chromosome, so that the arms are of different length), and Acrocentric (centromere is located much closer to one end of the chromosome than the other, resulting in arms that are very unequal in length).

Hope this helped!!

Answer 3

chromosomes are the carriers of genetic information they are constant in number in all body cells according to the species (humans,and differs between animals themselves) there number is 46 in humans organized in pairs (23 pairs) the first 22 pairs are called autosomes and the last pair is the gonosomes which indicate the gender of the person if it is XX it is a female but is it is XY it is a male.The X chromosome can carry a genetic data but Y cant.The ova and sperm are the only body cells that have 23 chromosemes in single so that after their union there'll be a complete number of chromosomes.Maybe when you see the answer you'll regret that u asked it :P

Answer 4

Chromosomes are arranged and numbered by size, from largest to smallest. A karyotype is a helpful way of seeing the characteristics of the chromosomes.

Answer 5

Chromosomes are arranged in a karyotype by size, banding patterns, and centromere location. This allows for easier identification and analysis of any potential abnormalities or genetic disorders.

Answer 6

a. How would the karyotype change if the person had Turner Syndrome?
