Chromosome Karyotyping
Students explore chromosome karyotyping. In this chromosome karyotyping lesson plan, students use a chromosome kit to explore chromosome syndromes and disorders. They also produce a large model of a cell with chromosome to simulate cell...

KARYOTYPE ALTERNATIVES
Students comprehend that karyotyping is a process in which chromosomes are cut from an enlarged picture and arranged in decreasing order of size. The cells to be viewed are first chemically treated to increase the number of dividing...

Lesson 10: Karyotypes
Young scholars predict traits of future offspring. In this biology lesson, students study karyotyping to predict genetic disorders. They research an assigned karyotype and present information about it.
Curated OER
Born of Blood
Young scholars define attributes of human chromosomes and match them to make a human karyotype. For this investigative lesson students demonstrate how traits are encoded in genes found on chromosomes.
