Expert Answer

  From the Human Karyotype Activity, what was the Karyotype Group number? What was the result of the karyotype? (Include the sex and the chromosomal disorder, if applicable. If there was no chromosomal disorder, you must state that the individual was normal.) (10 points)

I was in the Karyotype group X. We noted that there were 23 pairs of chromosomes that were not of the same size. The person whose sample was examined was a female because their sex chromosomes was XO. However, we expected their sex chromosomes to be XX meaning that they had a disorder. XO is known as Turner’s syndrome which is characterized by the absence of one X chromosome.
