Chromosome and Karyotyping Flashcards
It is a process of FINDING A CHROMOSOMAL
characteristics of a cell and it refers to the ANALYSIS OF CHROMOSOME.
Karyotyping
The STUDY of WHOLE SETS OF CHROMOSOMES.
Karyology
The CHROMOSOMES are depicted in a STANDARD FORMAT.
Ideogram or Karyogram
It is a type of CHROMOSOME if the CENTROMERE DIVIDES it into TWO ARMS of approximately equal length.
Metacentric
It is a type of CHROMOSOME if the CENTROMERE establishes ONE LONG ARM
and ONE SHORT ARM.
Submetacentric
It is a type of CHROMOSOME if the CENTROMERE if it PINCHED OFF ONLY a small amount of MATERIALS TOWARD ONE END.
Arcocentric
It is the MOST WIDELY USED routine banding method. The prepared and “AGED” slides are treated with the enzyme trypsin and then stained with Giemsa.
G-Banding (Giemsa Banding)
A FLUORESCENT TECHNIQUE was the FIRST BANDING METHOD developed for human chromosomes.
Q-Banding (Quinacrine Banding)
The OPPOSITE or REVERSE of the G-BANDING PATTERN. It is a USEFUL TECHNIQUE for the evaluation of euchromatic terminal ends/telomeres that are difficult to visualize with standard G-band techniques.
R-Banding (Reverse Banding)
It is useful for determining the presence of DICENTRIC and PSEUDO DICENTRIC CHROMOSOMES, and for studying marker chromosomes and polymorphic variants.
C-Banding (Constitutive Heterochromatin Banding)
C-Banding formed by the DNA is selectively depurination and denatured by?
Barium Hydroxide
The Chrosome that are present under the C-Banding are?
- Chromosome 1
- Chromosome 9
- Chromosome 16
A HARSHER TREATMENT of the chromosomes diminishes staining except at the HEAT-RESISTANT TELOMERES.
T-Banding (Telomere Banding)
What is USED TO STAIN THE REGIONS that contain GENES FOR RIBOSOMAL RNA?
Silver Nitrate
New techniques using FLUORESCENT DYES generate unique patterns for each chromosome.
