Today we started covering chapter 6 on cytogenetics.
We talked about what a karyotype is, how it's made, what it is used for and what kinds of cells can be used to make one. We also discussed chromosome nomenclature and techniques to stain or paint chromosomes while making a karyotype.
We introduced the concepts of euploidy, polyploidy, and aneuploidy.
Reminder: First exam this Wednesday, March 31.
