metaphase
what stain is used for chromosomes in cytogenetics
DNA-binding dyes
what kind of patterns help ID chromosomes
banding
def? abnormal amount of chromosomes such as having an single extra chromosome or missing one
aneuploidy
def? more than 2 sets of chromosomes (all chromosomes are affected)
polyploidy
what kind of chromosome abnormality causes Klinefelter syndrome
aneuploidy
def? one chromosome is absent
monosomy
def? one chromosome extra

monosomy and trisomy are examples of what kind of chromosome abnormality
aneuploidy
def? 2 chromosomes join long arms or exchange parts
translocation
def? segment of chromosome is reversed
inversion
def? a chromosome with identical arms
isochromosome
def? a chromosome that forms a ring due to deletion in telomeres, which cause ends to adhere
ring chromosome

ribonuclease
is PCR qualitative or quantitative
quantitative
what kind of PCR: amplify DNA from a small amount of DNA template
PCR
what kind of PCR: uses reverse transcription to produce a DNA template from an RNA source that can then be amplified.
