Question

3. Why are microdeletions and microinsertions difficult to diagnose using a karyotype? pt). 4. Attac h a copy of your completed karyotype from the online exercise. (1 pt) V. Using bioinformatics to determine if there are disorders associated with chromosomal aberrations. (2 pts) For your chosen chromosomal aberration (from section V of the lab instructions, not from your karyotype board!): Nomenclature: One Associated syndrome Phenotype MIM number Summary of the clinical features of the disorder.

Explanation / Answer

Q3. Karyotype helps to determine the size, shape and number of chromosome present in a single cell of a species. It can determine whether there is any type of ploidy happened or chrosomosal abberation. However, microdeletion and microinsertions are mutation in molecular level. It karyotype one cannot see molecular mutations. In karyotype only the chromosomes are seen, not their molecular structures. So it is impossible to detect the micro mutations.

To answer your next question i.e.,Q. No. V , I need the photo of section V of lab instruction copy.
