A karyotype provides meaningful information regarding the overall chromosome makeup of the cell. Translocations, deletions, inversions are some chromosome structural abnormalities that can be analysed along with chromosome numerical abnormalities. A try-it-yourself activity will teach you how chromosomes should be arranged in order to further study these abnormalities.

A karyotype is an ordered display of an individual’s chromosomes. A karyotype provides information about the number of chromosomes as well as  about abnormalities in the chromosome structure. Amniocentesis is a technique for withdrawing  fetal cells from which chromosomes can be extracted.

Cloning a gene is multi-step process involving  the isolation of the gene of interest from one given organism, then the transfer of the gene of interest to a host cell which is capable of  producing  large quantities of recombinant protein.

Meiosis produces haploid cells from diploid cells. Meiosis is a peculiar type of cellular division in which diploid germ line cells give rise to haploid reproductive cells or gametes. Meiosis plays a key role in generating tremendous genetic diversity.

DNA’s replication: three levels of observation:

• uncondensed chromosomes during the S phase.
• The DNA molecule double helix.
• nucleotide sequences.
