1 Karyotypes

2 How karyotypes are made… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPk_V1KkMuU&safety_mode=true&per sist_safety_mode=1&safe=active

3 Humans have 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs  1 st – 22 nd = autosomes  23 rd = sex chromosomes

4 Karyotype Karyotype = chart of paired chromosomes

5 Sex Determination  1 st – 22 nd = autosomes  23 rd = sex chromosomes (determine the sex) XX = femaleXY = male Female Male

6 Male or female? Female!

7 Male or female? Male!

8 What do karyotypes allow us to observe? 1.Gender or sex of the individual 2.Chromosomal disorders

9 How can you tell nondisjunction has occurred?

10 Chromosomal Disorders, caused by nondisjunction, are “read” using karyotypes

11 Chromosomal Disorders Chromosomal Disorders= diseases that result from an abnormality in chromosome number – Caused by NONDISJUNCTION (failure of chromosomes to separate properly during meiosis)

12 Nondisjunction

13 Karyotypes allow us to see Chromosomal Disorders 3 Chromosomal Disorders: 1.Down Syndrome 2.Klinefelter Syndrome 3.Turner Syndrome

14 Down Syndrome AKA “Trisomy 21” 3 chromosomes of the 21 st pair Causes: mental and physical disability

15 Down Syndrome

16 Kleinfelter’s Syndrome Kleinfelter syndrome = trisomy 23 (sex chromosomes) Causes: small testicles, reduced fertility in males

17 Klinefelter’s Syndrome

18 Turner Syndrome Missing X chromosome Causes: non working ovaries; male-like stature Females only

19

20 Turner Syndrome

21 What causes chromosomal disorders?
