Material Detail

Using Karyotypes to Predict Genetic Disorders

This site provides an array of animations pertaining to genetic disorders. There are animations on how normal meiosis, fertilization and abnormal meiosis work. There are also animations on how trisomy and monosomy occur and one can learn about the two types of chromosome deletions and learn about the two types of chromosomal translocations. After one has viewed all the animations, there is a quiz section that allows one to predict which syndrome will result from the following fertilization events.

Keywords:: monosomy, genetic disorders, meiosis, chromosome deletions, chromosomal translocations, syndromes, trisomy, fertilization
