It explains the significance of karyotyping in identifying abnormalities in either the number or shape of chromosomes. The paragraph uses examples to illustrate how a normal karyotype can be used as a control to compare with abnormal ones, such as those found in Down syndrome and Turner's syndrome. The lesson concludes by emphasizing the importance of karyotyping in determining gender and identifying chromosomal abnormalities, which can be crucial for understanding genetic conditions and their implications.

Keywords

💡Karyotype

A karyotype is a visual representation of the chromosomes within a cell, organized by size, shape, and structure. It is a key tool in genetics, used to identify and study chromosomes. In the video, karyotypes are used to compare the chromosomal number and structure across different species and to identify abnormalities in individuals, such as in Down syndrome and Turner's syndrome.

💡Autosomal chromosomes

Autosomal chromosomes are the non-sex chromosomes in a cell. Humans typically have 22 pairs of autosomes. In the video, the concept is used to explain the normal chromosomal composition in humans, where 22 pairs of autosomes are present, in addition to the sex chromosomes.

💡Gonosomal chromosomes

Gonosomal chromosomes, also known as sex chromosomes, determine an individual's sex. In humans, there are two types: XX for females and XY for males. The video discusses the significance of these chromosomes in determining the gender of an individual and their role in certain genetic abnormalities.

💡Down syndrome

Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21. It is characterized by certain physical and developmental characteristics. The video uses Down syndrome as an example of an abnormality that can be identified through karyotyping, where an individual has three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the usual two.

💡Turner's syndrome

Turner's syndrome is a genetic condition where a female is partially or completely missing one of her X chromosomes. This can result in various physical and developmental abnormalities. The video script uses Turner's syndrome to illustrate how a missing chromosome can be detected through karyotyping.

💡Chromosomal abnormalities

Chromosomal abnormalities refer to any deviation from the normal number or structure of chromosomes. These can lead to genetic disorders. The video emphasizes the importance of karyotyping in identifying such abnormalities, whether they involve an excess or deficiency in the number of chromosomes or structural changes.

💡Trisumi

Trisumi, or trisomy, is a type of chromosomal abnormality where an individual has three copies of a chromosome instead of the usual two. The video explains that trisumi can lead to conditions like Down syndrome, where an extra chromosome 21 is present.

💡Tetrazumi

Tetrazumi, or tetrasomy, is a rare chromosomal abnormality where an individual has four copies of a chromosome. The video briefly mentions this term to contrast with the more common trisomy and to illustrate the different types of numerical chromosomal abnormalities.

💡Monozomi

Monozomi, or monosomy, is a condition where an individual has only one copy of a chromosome instead of the usual pair. The video uses this term to describe a situation where an individual might be missing a chromosome, leading to genetic disorders.

💡Homologous chromosomes

Homologous chromosomes are a pair of chromosomes that have the same structure and gene sequence, one inherited from each parent. The video script discusses how abnormalities can occur not only in the number of chromosomes but also in their structure, such as when homologous chromosomes differ in size.

💡Carry typing

Carry typing, likely a typographical error in the transcript for 'karyotyping', refers to the process of analyzing an individual's karyotype. The video explains how this technique is crucial for identifying chromosomal abnormalities and determining an individual's sex.

assalamu alaikum welcome grade 11

students and in this lesson we will

carry on talking about activity one the

carry typing

at the end of this video you will be

able to deduce the different species of

different karyotypes to compare

karyotypes to recognize the causes of

having abnormal karyotype and to notice

the importance of carry timing please

make sure to prepare the extra worksheet

and a pencil case

previously you've learned about the

karyotyping technique and the criteria

upon which chromosomes are arranged in a

karyotype but you have two types

homologous autosomal chromosomes and

gonozomal chromosomes xx or xy

for this lesson we need you to answer

two questions

is this karyotype similar in our species

and is it related to abnormalities found

in certain individuals

let's start by comparing the chromosomal

number in different species as shown in

the following table

what can you deduce do they have equal

or different number of chromosomes

well both cases are found here where

different species might have different

or same number of chromosomes different

as in the case of the mouse and red and

the p and the onion they all have

different number of chromosomes and same

as in the case of the rat and the monkey

as shown here both species have a total

of 42 chromosomes so how do both rata

and monkey have the same chromosomal

number but are so much different can you

suggest an explanation for this problem

to find the answer it's not enough to

just look at the chromosomes in this

karyotype we need to zoom into each

chromosome in order to find what's the

difference

given the following two chromosomes

number one in both rats and monkey what

can you see here what's the difference

when checking both chromosomes you can

find that they are very different the

genetic information held by chromosome

number one in erat is different from

that in the monkey

here we've solved the first problem

let's start with the second question

what is the importance of the

karyotyping technique to do so please

prepare worksheet for

as you've read in the worksheet you have

three cases to study here the case of

normal individual and two cases having

abnormalities down syndrome and turner's

syndrome and as you've read a syndrome

is a kind of chronic disease it's found

with the individual from birth it cannot

be cured

let's start answering the first three

questions concerning individual a

explain why individual a has a normal

karyotype it's obvious that this

karyotype is normal because this

individual has a total number of 46

chromosomes 22 pairs that are autosomal

and we have the xx pair which are

gonozoma since we have xxt chromosomes

then this individual's gender is female

give the importance of using the

karyotype of individual a

having a normal karyotype here is

important in order to compare it and

find the abnormality in down syndrome

internal syndrome that's why

we say that individual a represents a

control case used to compare its

karyotype to the abnormal ones

let's continue on with studying the

number of autosomes gonoz and total

number of chromosomes in each individual

count each chromosome individually and

you can find that the number of

autosomes in individual a is 44

b 45 c 44

for the chromosomes here you can find

that individual a has x x so two

individual b has two also while

individual c has one gonozon the total

number of chromosomes here will be

46

to 47

to 45.

now let's compare these values in order

to find the abnormalities in b and c

starting by comparing the number of

autosomes between a and b

you can find here that the number of

autosomes in individual b are greater or

more than that in individual a

so we can say that the cause of syndrome

here in b is that it has an excess in

the number of chromosomes we have an

extra chromosome

however by comparing the number of

chronosomes between a and c you can find

that c has only one gonozome so the

number of chromosomes is less y1 so c is

abnormal because there's an absence of a

chromosome

i need to remind you here when you're

comparing two numbers you need to use

the terms more than greater than or less

than and you need to show the values in

order to have a total correct answer

so let's continue here we found out that

we have some kind of abnormality here we

need to explain the following terms

trisumi tetrazumi and monozomi

each type of abnormality refers to its

name try so we have three chromosomes an

extra chromosome they should be two when

we say tetra it's a condition where we

have two extra chromosomes they must be

two but they are four so tetra

monozomy also is a condition where we

have only one chromosome so we lack the

homologous pair here so these three

abnormalities are related to the number

of chromosomes

if we have one extra or we lack one

chromosome we have an abnormality

however there's another case to study

here check out this karyotype when

counting the number of chromosomes you

can find the number of chromosomes here

is normal there is no difference however

check chromosome number five what's

wrong here we said in the previous

lesson that homologous chromosomes

should have same size however the pair

five one chromosome is shorter than the

other so the abnormality here is in the

shape not in the number

so let's solve number eight and define

an abnormal karyotype in an abnormal

karyotype you might have abnormality in

the number and excess or lack of

chromosomes or you might have an

abnormality in the shape as shown in

this case

can you now answer our initial question

what is the importance of the

cardiotyping technique

well here we're looking at this

caterpillar you can find that this

karyotype is important in order to

determine whether the living thing

suffers from chromosomal abnormalities

whether in shape or number of

chromosomes and also this stereotypes

helps us to find the gender of the

individual

whether it's male or female

in this video we've answered two

questions one concerning the characters

of different species and the other

concerning abnormalities

so to sum up we learned that different

species might have the same number of

chromosomes in their cells the genetic

information held by the chromosomes vary

from one species to another

a karyotype is said to be abnormal if it

presents an abnormal number or shape of

chromosomes the karyotype helps in

determining the gender sex of a living

thing and shows whether this living

thing suffers from chromosomal

abnormalities

as an assignment please make sure to

memorize the summary sheet this video is

prepared and recorded by teacher the

harassery and supervised by teacher
