Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A karyotype is a picture of an organized arrangement of all of the chromosomes within one cell during the metaphase section of mitosis. The chromosomes are paired and then arranged by number according to size and centromere position. The banding pattern of each pair is analyzed to determine whether areas have been deleted, expanded, or translocated. A pedigree also is a picture, but it illustrates several generations of a family history. Phenotypes are observable traits. Autotype is not a genetic term.
