The following image is called a _______, the chromosomes are in their ______ form
Karyogram
Picture of Karyogram (di ko malagay ei)
Karyogram; haploid
T/F: The previous figure is an example of symmetric karyotype.
F ; asymmetric
Contains: Glutathione, Vit B12, NaHCO3
For which part of the process of karyotyping is this used for?
Cell culture
BONUS: Spell out RPMI
Roswell Park Memorial Institute
Select all that apply
Which other reagents and equipment are needed for your answer in 3 (Cell culture)?
Fetal BSA, PHA
What is the role of choice B (PHA) in karyotyping preparation?
Cell division factor
BONUS: The blood to be used in lymphocyte based karyotyping must have ______ as anticoagulant, and therefore the tube top should be ________ colored.
Sodium Heparin, green
The main principle behind ________ method is to arrest cells at _________ by disruption of the ________ via the use of drug
Colcemid, metaphase, microtubules
Which reagent in the karyotyping procedure cause the following to retrieve chromosomes?
Sodium citrate 0.8%
BONUS: ________ exposure to colcemid or the use of high concentrations increases the proportion of chromosomes at late metaphase, resulting in shortening of the chromosomes. A ______ exposure with a high concentration of colcemid reduces the total yield of metaphases.
Long, short
BONUS: This (Bromouridine) is used to arrest the cells at ___-phase to increase the total yield of metaphase chromosomes.
Interphase
Identify the ingredients and the ratio of ingredients in Carnoy’s fixative
Ethanol; Ch3Cl; 95% HOAc (6:3:1)
For which part of the process is the inverted microscope used?
Step where rubber policeman is used
Cell culture; to spread the cells in a culture
Together with the ingredient seen in ________ (reagent), this equipment (Carbon Dioxide incubator) is used to provide proper temperature and ________ to the cell culture.
RPMI, pH
Which is not properly matched?
Final fixation - Room temp (Cold)
G-banding Karyotype
- Uses eosin Y and azure B
- The positive G-bands, which are the dark bands, are hydrophobic regions
- Lighter stained regions are disulfide-rich
R-banding karyotype
- Produces positive bands that correspond to the negative bands in G-banding
- Is produced by incubating the chromosomes in an ionic solution at a high temperatures (~87C) followed by staining with Giemsa
C-banding karyotype
- Technique involves hot saline incubation, and alkali treatment
Q-banding karyotype
- Dye binds by intercalation
- Amino group at position 2 of the Guanine bases of the DNA quenches the fluorescence of quinacrine
- AT-rich regions of the chromosomes to fluoresce more brightly than the GC-rich regions
NOR-banding karyotype
- Acetic acid is used like a stop bath to end the staining process
BONUS: Identify the karyotype staining with the following advantages:
- Identification of bivalents at diakinesis using both centromere position
- Paternity testing
- Gene mapping
C-banding
Identify the sex of the human using the previous karyotype:
Male
Trisomy 21 Karyotype
Down Syndrome
XXY Karyotype
Klinefelter Syndrome
