Karüotüüps
Karüotüüps, often transliterated as karyotype, refers to the characteristic set of chromosomes found in the cells of a particular organism or species. This set includes the number of chromosomes, their size, shape, and banding patterns. Humans, for instance, typically have 23 pairs of chromosomes, totaling 46. These are arranged into 22 pairs of autosomes, which are similar in males and females, and one pair of sex chromosomes (XX for females and XY for males).
The study of karüotüüps, known as karüotyping, is a crucial diagnostic tool in genetics and medicine. It
Karüotyping is performed by culturing cells, arresting them during cell division, staining the chromosomes, and then
