Hands-on DNA: How to Use an Interactive Karyotype Activity to Teach Chromosomal Disorders

Before touching the chromosomes, review the rules of the Karyotype:

Interactive activities often use real-world scenarios to teach students about aneuploidy (an abnormal number of chromosomes). Common cases include:

The objectives of the Interactive Karyotype Activity are:

• Band patterns (the light and dark stripes)
