Chromosomes
Definition
 Genetic structures of cells containing
DNA
Identification
 Each chromosome has a characteristic
length and banding pattern
The breakdown of a Chromosome
 Each autosome is numbered from 1-22,
sex chromosomes either X or Y
p arm
(short arm)
q arm
(long arm)
Centromere
Chromosome Labeling
Example - 1q2.4
 The first chromosome, long arm, second
region of the chromosome, the fourth band of
that sub-region
Chromosome is
identified with
a number
ranging 1-22,
or X and Y
Each arm
divided into
sub-regions
and identified
by a number
Each sub-
region divided
into bands
identified with
a number
A Karyotype
Definition
 A photographic
arrangement of
a complete set
of chromosomes
of a cell or
organism
1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18
19 20 21 22 X Y
Obtaining a Sample
Fetal samples for karyotypes are commonly
obtained in two ways
1.Amniocentesis – sample taken from the
fluid of the amniotic sac
2.Chorionic Villus Sampling – sample
taken from the fetal tissue that forms
part of the placenta
Obtaining a Karyotype
 Chromosomes are stained for easy
visualization
 Light microscope used to view chromosomes
in metaphase of mitosis
 Chromosomes arranged into homologous
pairs based on size and banding patterns
Staining
Banding patterns can be visually identified on
chromosomes after staining.
Traditional Types
 G-Banding – Giemsa stain
 Q-Banding – Fluorescent stain
 R-Banding – Reverse Giemsa stain
New Type
 Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization techniques
Importance of Karyotypes
Karyotypes show the chromosomal
makeup of an individual. Knowing the
number of chromosomes is essential for
identifying chromosomal variations that
cause genetic disorders.
