Karyotyping
A genome-wide snapshot of an individual’s chromosomes
Karyotyping
T/F
Karyotyping canalysis can reveal chromosomal transolocations, deletions, duplications, or inversions
True
Basic Steps in Karyotyping
Extract Chromosomes –> Impact color –> Arrange
____-stained: Heterochromatin
____-stained: Euchromatin
Dark; Light
T/F
Acetylation of DNA and histones causes nucleosomes to pack tightly (heterochromatin)
False
