A human karyotype
__________________________________________________
Following with the chapter on cytogenetics we discussed the nomenclature of chromosomes, how to produce a human karyotype, including the different chromosome banding and painting techniques, and methods to obtain cells from fetuses and adults to produce a karyotype.
We introduced the topic of variations in chromosome number, including polyploidy and aneuploidy; we discussed the most common causes for each abnormality.
