Creative Karyotypes Assignment

Prepare a karyogram from this chromosome spread and answer the questions relating to it.

Specimen 12-995455-1

This species has an XX/XY (Lygaeus) sex determining system similar to that found in humans and one sex chromosome (an X) has been labelled (note both sex chromosomes are present).

3. Is the specimen euploid or aneuploid? euploidaneuploid

4. Is the specimen monosomic for any autosomes? Yes or No

If yes which chromosome(s) are monosomic (only enter integers; if your answer has more than one chromosome, enter them separated by commas)

5. Is the specimen trisomic for any autosomes? Yes or No

If yes which chromosome(s) are trisomic (only enter integers; if your answer has more than one chromosome, enter them separated by commas)

6. Is the specimen likely to form a trivalent during cell division? Yes or No

If yes which chromosome will do so

7. How many chromosomes will be found in a cell of this specimen in anaphase of mitosis =

8. Are there any deletions? Yes or No

If yes which chromosome(s) have the deletion (only enter integers; if your answer has more than one chromosome, enter them separated by commas)

9. Are there any inversions? Yes or No

If yes which chromosome(s) have the inversion (only enter integers; if your answer has more than one chromosome, enter the values separated by commas)

10. Are there any acentric autosomes? Yes or No

If yes which chromosome(s) are acentric (only enter integers; if your answer has more than one chromosome, enter the values separated by commas)

11. Are there any dicentric chromosomes? Yes or No

If yes which chromosome(s) are dicentric (only enter integers; if your answer has more than one chromosome, enter the values separated by commas)

12. Are there any telocentric autosomes? Yes or No

If yes which chromosome(s) are telocentric (only enter integers; if your answer has more than one chromosome, enter them separated by commas)
