What do they do in cytogenetics lab?

Cytogeneticists prepare mitotic cells in samples and stain the chromosomes for visual examinations under the microscope to see if there is any abnormalities in the number of chromosomes and/ or in the structure of the chromosomes.


What stage is the mitotic spindle visible?

Chromosomes are easiest to see when they are condensed(coiled and supercoiled, so that they become short and fat).They are at their most condensed from late prophase through to early telophase, in either mitosis or meiosis.Their visibility also depends on suitable microscopic technique, including the use of an appropriate stain, such as acetocarmine.


You wont see chromosomes in this longest stage of the cell cycle?

During Interphase the DNA is not in the form of chromosomes. It is not until Prophase that it condenses and chromosomes become visible.


How can we see the polymorphism in gel pattern?

Polymorphism in gel patterns can be seen as variations in the banding pattern of DNA fragments among different individuals. This can be observed by visualizing the different band sizes and intensities on a gel after the DNA has been separated based on size using techniques such as gel electrophoresis. The presence of different bands at the same locus indicates polymorphism.


The name given to a liquid used to make cells structures easier to see?

A stain is a liquid used to make cell structures easier to see by adding color contrast. Stains can highlight specific parts of cells, making them more visible under a microscope. Different stains target different cell components or characteristics.

Why would it be much more difficult to construct a karyotype of unstained chromosomes?

It would be more difficult to construct a karyotype of unstained chromosomes because without stains, the chromosomes lack visible patterns or distinguishing features that are typically used to identify and organize them. Staining helps highlight the bands and patterns on the chromosomes, making it easier to match and pair them together for karyotyping purposes.


How do biologist make a karyotype?

Biologists make a karyotype by capturing chromosomes from a cell sample, arranging them by size, banding pattern, and centromere position, and then taking a picture of them under a microscope. This creates a visual representation of an individual's chromosomes, which can be used to identify chromosomal abnormalities or genetic disorders.

How do you go from oil stain to latex?

Oil stain is for bringing out the colour in wood. -If you feel it needs a latex stain, just paint it over -I don't see the point.
