What are karyotypes?

What is karyogram?

5. - harvesting cells

- chemically inducing cell division, then arresting mitosis while chromosomes are condensed

What do homologous chromosomes share?

 Where is haploid present mostly?

10. -Previously, it could only be measured while condensed during mitosis (very inaccurate due to supercoiling)

-Cairns used autoradiography to visualize the chromosomes whilst uncoiled, allowing for more accurate indications of length

-By using tritiated uracil (3H-U), regions of active transcription can be identified within the uncoiled chromosome

5. 1. Cells are grown in a solution containing radioactive thymidine

 2. Tritiated thymidine is incorporated into the chromosomal DNA of the cell

3. The chromosomes are isolated by gently lysing the cells and fixing the chromosomes to a photographic surface
