Genetic Disorder & Karyotype Research Project

Make genetics fun!!! In this dry lab students will complete a “normal” karyotype as well as an "abnormal" karyotype. Upon completing the karyotype and studying the chromosomes they will determine gender and diagnose a genetic disorder. Students will then research their genetic disorder and create an informational brochure. This dry lab can take anywhere from 2-3 days to a week depending on how much time is devoted to in class vs. out of class work.

Included are:
2 "Normal" Smears
6 "Abnormal" Smears
Karyotype Form
Idealized Chromosome Handout
Student Direction Sheet
Teacher Instructions
Complete Answer Keys
Supplemental Disorder List
