Product Details IntermediateEasy to perform; requires some background knowledge. Using a printed magnetic karyotype layout board and magnetic chromosomes, this kit makes it easy for you and your students to go hands on with human karyotyping. Students prepare and analyze normal and abnormal human karyotypes by identifying and matching each magnetic chromosome piece to its printed homologous pair on the board based upon the size, centromere position, and banding pattern of each chromosome. The kit includes enough materials for students to prepare karyotypes of: A normal male A normal female Down syndrome (trisomy 21), male and female Klinefelter syndrome male Turner syndrome female Designed with reusability in mind, this kit will ensure that your students learn how to identify chromosomal alterations that result in genetic disorders by creating and analyzing karyotypes in a similar way that scientist do.
