What educators are saying
I like this activity a lot! It is a great supplement to go along with my teaching! Highly recommend for help with karyotypes!
Students love the hands on aspect with the cutting and pasting of the chromosomes. I liked there are three different versions of the karyotypes. I really think my students both learned about some of the different chromosomal abnormalities while they enjoyed the lab.
Description
This is a great activity where students complete a paper karyotype so they can diagnose a chromosome disorder. Students will cut-out unmatched chromosomes and paste them next to their identical (homologous) mate. When their karyotype is finished they will be able to identify 1 of 3 different karyotype disorders. Patient A will be diagnosed with Down's Syndrome. Patient B will be diagnosed with Klinefelter's Syndrome. Patient C will be diagnosed with Edward's Syndrome.
After the cutting/pasting, the students will then complete a series of analysis questions to check for understanding.
