karyotype

karyotype /karyo·type/ (-tīp″) the chromosomal constitution of the cell nucleus; by extension, the photomicrograph of chromosomes arranged according to the Denver classification.

kar·y·o·type (k

-t

)

1. The characterization of the chromosomal complement of an individual or a species, including number, form, and size of the chromosomes.

2. A photomicrograph of chromosomes arranged according to a standard classification.

To classify and array the chromosome complement of an organism or a species according to the arrangement, number, size, shape, or other characteristics of the chromosomes.

karyotype

of a normal human cell

Karyotype

A standard arrangement of photographic or computer-generated images of chromosome pairs from a cell in ascending numerical order, from largest to smallest.

karyotype

[ker′ē·ətīp′]

Etymology: Gk, karyon + typos, mark

1 the number, form, size, and arrangement within the nucleus of the somatic chromosomes of an individual or species, as determined by a microphotograph taken during metaphase of mitosis.

2 a diagrammatic representation of the chromosome complement of an individual or species, in which the chromosomes are arranged in pairs in descending order of size and according to the position of the centromere. See also chromosome, Denver classification, idiogram. karyotypic, adj.

karyotype [kar´e-o-tīp]

the chromosomal constitution of the cell nucleus; by extension, the photomicrograph of chromosomes arranged. See also illustration at chromosome.

Preparation of a karyotype. From Mueller and Young, 2001.
