Transcript Analyzing Karyotypes
Nondisjunction – means “not coming apart”; when
homologous chromosomes fail to separate, abnormal
chromosome numbers may find their way into
gametes
Monosomy – missing one chromosome from a pair
Trisomy – having three copies of a chromosome
Ex] Trisomy 21 – extra chromosome-21
A karyotype displays a diploid number
of chromosomes.
