Karyotype mystery
Karyotype Mystery Activity - Use the "Guide to Chromosome Banding" sheet to correctly identify each chromosome. Glue the correct chromosomes into their pairs. Somewhere on your karyotype you will find an atypical pairing. For example you might find 3 X chromosomes. Remember that a typical human has 23 pairs of chromosomes.
Then using a computer find out what the genetic disorder is of the human sample you have. You need to briefly describe it, symptoms, treatment (even if their is no cure), and 3-5 facts about it. Keep it brief.
