NAME _______________ KIT # ________ Karyotyping Lab 1. a. b. c. d. Normally, how many chromosomes are found in a human sperm? _________ Normally, how many chromosomes are found in a human egg? ___________ Normally, how many chromosomes are found in a human baby? __________ How many chromosomes are found in the “baby” you created in this lab? ___ 2. a. What form of cell division creates the sperm? _________________________ b. What form of cell division creates the egg? ___________________________ 3. a. Note the two chromosomes that are not numbered. (Refer to your map for chromosome numbers.) If these chromosomes are________ and ________, your baby is a boy. If they are ______ and ______, your baby is a girl. What is the sex of your baby? ______________ b. Is the sex of each baby readily obvious? _________ Occasionally, complications exist which make it difficult to determine the sex of a baby. What do you think these complications might be, and how could they occur? Explain your answer. 4. Note the arrangement of your baby’s chromosomes. Study them carefully and compare them to the chromosomes represented on Human Chromosome map. What features are used to order and assign numbers 1-22 to the chromosomes? 5. Note the genes that are found within your baby’s chromosomes. Letters are assigned to represent some of those genetic traits. If your baby has a combination of dominant gene, shown by a capital letter, and a recessive gene, shown by a lower case letter, the dominant gene prevents expression of the recessive trait. Based on this information, try to determine your baby’s genetic traits. List them below. (These should include any genetic diseases your baby has, any genetic diseases your baby is a carrier of, your baby’s blood type, your baby’s hair color, and your baby’s eye color. Remember, if there is no eye color trait on your chromosomes, brown eye color is expressed.) 6. What genetic disease or diseases is/are carried by the Y chromosome? 7. Based on the “Law of Dominance” (see question 5), what genetic disease has your baby inherited, if any? 8. Based on today’s laboratory, write a paragraph explaining why you are genetically unique. 9. What chromosome number has our taste receptors? 10. What 2 chromosomes have hair color and eye color on them? 11. List the diseases on the X chromosome. 12. Why do boys get these X-linked diseases more than girls? 13. BRCA is the Breast Cancer gene. What 2 chromosomes carry the breast cancer gene?
