Interactive activities often present "mystery cases" for students to solve. Common conditions included in these simulations are: An extra 21st chromosome. Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome): An extra 18th chromosome. A missing X chromosome in a female

To understand the structure of a human karyotype, identify homologous chromosome pairs, and diagnose chromosomal abnormalities like Down’s Syndrome or Klinefelter’s Syndrome. Part 1: Background Knowledge is an organized profile of a person's chromosomes. The Numbers: Humans typically have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). Autosomes: Pairs 1 through 22 are ordered from largest to smallest. Sex Chromosomes: The 23rd pair determines biological sex ( for female, for male). The Matching Game: Scientists pair chromosomes based on three features: banding patterns (dark/light stripes), and centromere position Part 2: Interactive Procedure Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome): An extra 18th chromosome
