A group of individuals or species that have the same chromosomal characteristics
An arrangement of chromosomes by size and morphology to detect changes in chromosomal structure and arrangement; used to aid in identification of species and subspecies within a species
The number of chromosomes present in a given genome and the form that they assume (including banding patterns) when they condense (see Chapter 5) A karyotype is defined entirely by microscopic observation See Karyotype in the MGI Glossary
A picture of the chromosomes in a cell that is used to check for abnormalities A karyotype is created by staining the chromosomes with dye and photographing them through a microscope The photograph is then cut up and rearranged so that the chromosomes are lined up into corresponding pairs
the chromosome profile of an individual Useful in determining possible relationships between individuals as well as chromosomal abnormalities and irregularities
the appearance of the chromosomal makeup of a somatic cell in an individual or species (including the number and arrangement and size and structure of the chromosomes)
A description of the condensed chromosomes of a eukaryote as they are seen at metaphase Additional details are revealed by a variety of staining techniques that produce banded chromosomes See the idiogram of the rat karyotype at the Ratmap database
The complete set of chromosomes of a cell or organism You must give a blood sample, and a geneticist will look at your chromosomes under a microscope, and form a picture of them
A photomicrograph of size-ordered, banded chromosomes that enables low-resolution physical mapping of features
A plan of chromosomes which allows geneticists to identify missing, extra or damaged chromosomes
The chromosome complement of an individual arranged in a standard order from large to small (Numbering the largest chromosome 1, and so on with chromosome 22 the shortest)
chromosome analysis, usually reported as "46, XX, normal female karyotype " The "46" refers to the number of chromosomes in each cell (23 pairs), the "XX" describes the sex chromosomes, in this case, female A few girls with RS have had abnormal results
An arranged display of chromosomes from a single cell Karyotypes are made from a photomicrograph of spread chromosomes and each chromosome is cut out and then arranged in pairs The individual chromosomes are identified by their unique banding patterns obtained by staining
All of the chromosomes in a cell or an individual organism, visible through a microsope during cell division
A photomicrograph of an individuals chromosomes arranged in a standard format showing the number, size, and shape of each chromosome type; used in low-resolution physical mapping to correlate gross chromosomal abnormalities with the characteristics of specific diseases kb: See kilobase Kilobase (kb): Unit of length for DNA fragments equal to 1000 nucleotides
A test which looks at the number and appearance of the chromosomes of an individual The karyotype of an unborn baby can be done on cells taken from the fluid removed from the womb by amniocentesis
