What is a "karyotype"?
A karyotype is a picture of all the chromosomes in a cell, arranged in a standard format. This arrangement helps to see if there are any abnormalities in the number or structure of the chromosomes. The chromosomes are paired and arranged by size and shape, making it easier to study and identify any genetic issues or conditions. A karyotype can be used to diagnose genetic disorders, monitor changes in chromosome patterns, and understand the effects of genetic factors on certain diseases.
