The document discusses chromosomes and karyotypes. It explains that a karyotype is an individual's set of chromosomes and is also a laboratory technique that produces chromosome images. Karyotypes are used to look for abnormal chromosome numbers or structures. The document then provides instructions for creating a model of a human chromosome that involves labeling parts, identifying a mutation site, making a physical model, and producing a video presentation discussing the chosen chromosome and effects of a mutation.

1. Chromosomes and Karyotype

2. A karyotype is an individual's
collection of chromosomes. The
term also refers to a laboratory
technique that produces an image
of an individual's chromosomes.
The karyotype is used to look for
abnormal numbers or structures of
chromosomes.

5. Create your own chromosome!
Instructions:
1. Choose any of the 23 pairs of human chromosome to make a model
after.
2. Label each part correctly.
3. Locate which part, that which when affected with mutation, would
result in a change in its genotype and phenotype.
4. Create a model of the chosen chromosome. You may choose your
material freely as long as it can support your structure (plastic, wires,
wood, etc.)

7. 5. Make sure to create a model sturdy enough to be manipulated as
you will show that through a 5-minute video presentation containing
the following information:
a. What chromosome is it?
b. What mutation occurred?
c. What are the outcomes of this mutation? Disease? Physiological
changes? Elaborate.
d. End with how important it is that chromosome must undergo a cell
division without mistakes.

8. 6. This is an individual activity. You are your own support and leader.
7. Deadline: February 24, 2022 at 11:59pm through google drive.
