    This document is a karyotype worksheet that provides instructions and questions to analyze various karyotypes. It asks the student to identify sex chromosomes and abnormalities in sample karyotypes. Key points covered include that males have one X and one Y chromosome, the longest chromosome is chromosome 1 and the shortest is chromosome 22, nondisjunction can result in chromosomal mutations, and examples of disorders from abnormal karyotypes like Down syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, and Turner syndrome are provided.

    Karyotype Worksheet

    1. Look at the karyotype in Figure 1 below. Notice the two sex chromosomes, pair number 23, do
    not look alike. They are different because this karyotype is of a male, and a male has an X and
    a Y chromosome. Circle the Y chromosome in the Karyotype below.

    2. Notice the center point of each chromosome. This is called a centromere.. Is there a line
    running through each centromere in the picture above? Circle YES NO
    3. How many chromosomes does a normal person have? Circle 23 46

    4. Look at the karyotype labeled figure 4.


    Do you see any chromosomal
    abnormalities? YES NO

    5. What chromosomes are abnormal?


    AUTOSOME SEX

    1
    6. Look at the karyotype to the left is it?
    MALE or FEMALE
    NORMAL or ABNORMAL

    7. Which chromosome is the longest and


    has the most genes? 1 or 21

    8. Which chromosome is the shortest and


    has the fewest genes? 2 or
    22

    9. In a normal karyotype how many


    autosomal chromosomes are there? 22 pairs

    10. In a normal karyotype how many sex


    chromosomes are there? 2

    11. Nondisjuction is a chromosomal


    mutation that occurs during meiosis.
    Research about it and write the definition
    of Nondisjuction.

    One or more pairs of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids fail to separate correctly during
    nuclear division, resulting in an abnormal chromosomal distribution in the daughter nuclei.

    12. One type of nondisjunction mutation is trisomy 21. What is another name for it? Down syndrome

    13. Identify the disorder in karyotype Figure 4. 1 extra X chromosome (Klinefelter syndrome)

    14. Identify the disorder in karyotype Figure 5. Only one sex chromosome, MonosomyX (Turner
    syndrome)

    15. What disorder does the person below have? Down syndrome 16. Are they? MALE
    FEMALE
