QUESTIONS WITH 100% VERIFIED
ANSWERS
\.What is a karyotype? - ANSWERS✔-A display of every pair of homologous
chromosomes within a cell, organized according to size and shape
\.Monosomy - ANSWERS✔-absence of one member in a pair of chromosome
conditions: Turner syndrome (XO), Cri du chat syndrome
\.Trisomy - ANSWERS✔-addition of a chromosome
conditions: Down syndrome (3 chromatids on 21)
\.Triploidy - ANSWERS✔-three copies of every chromosome as opposed to two
conditions: extreme birth defects, deadly

\.How many chromosomes are in a karyotype? - ANSWERS✔-46 - 22 pairs
(assuming diploid), and 1 sex pair = 23 x 2 = 46
