Karyotypes Human body cells have 46 paired
chromosomes or 23 pairs of chromosomes. Human gametes have 23 unpaired
chromosomes When a sperm and egg unite each parent
passes on 23 chromosomes to the offspring resulting in 46 chromosomes in the zygote.
The zygote will divide by mitosis creating the new organism.
Karyotypes A picture of all the chromosomes in a cell
body can be madeKaryotype Karyotype is set up from largest pairs of
chromosomes to smallest pairs. The first 22 pairs of chromosomes are called
the autosomes—they carry the alleles that make up the traits of the body.
The last pair of chromosomes—pair number 23—is the sex chromosomes. This pair will determine the sex of the individual.
Karyotypes An individual with an XX chromosome pair
will be a female. An individual with an XY chromosome pair
will be a male Karyotypes are usually made to determine if
an individual has genes that will cause disorders.
Karyotypes1. How many pairs are seen?• 22 full pairs
2. How are they arranged, size wise?
• Smallest to larges and then the sex chromosomes
3. What is missing in this karyotype?
• Missing sex chromosome, no additional X or Y (monosomy)
• Turner’s Syndrome -Infertile -Slow intelligence -No menstruation
Karyotypes1. What is wrong with this person’s Karyotype?• 3 sex chromosomes
(trisomy)2. Is this person male of female?• male3. What disorder does this person have?• Klienfelter’s Syndrome -AKA as Extra X -Infertile -Learning disabilities -Female body shape
Karyotypes1. What is wrong with this
karyotype?• Extra chromosome at 21 (Trisomy
21)2. Is this person male or female?• Female3. How do you know?• Two X sex chromosomesDowns Syndrome -generally happy personality -rounded faces -can be male or female -usually sterile -very slow intelligence -greater likelihood of getting diseases; however, very rarely get cancer
