Karyotyping Activity: Virtual vs Manual



Human Karyotype (Normal)
Karyotyping is used to detect whether the offspring would have chromosomal abnormalities by pairing its chromosomes. A normal human has 22 pairs of somatic chromosomes and 1 pair of sex cells.
In this activity, we have to work on pair to answer the karyotyping activity. Ma’am Rutchelle Enriquez provided us the link that will be printed out then cut all the chromosomes and match them by comparing its size and the arrangement of centromeres. After pairing the chromosomes I and my partner Jay will make a reflection paper comparing the manual method versus virtual method of pairing the chromosomes.
