Introduction
Cytogenetics:
•Study of structure, function and abnormalities of chromosomes
• Analysis of stained chromosomes
Chromosome= DNA+Protein
Found in Nucleus in Eukaryotic cells
Human Karyotype- Number , sizes, shapes of metaphase chromosome= Karyotype/
Karyogram
Karyotype consisting photo/ diagram of all metaphasic chromosomes arranged in
homologous pairs according to decreasing length and position of Centromere= Idiogram

Importanceof karyotyping
• Determination of chromosome
size
• Determination of chromosome
number
• Features of sex chromosomes
• Centromere position
• Nucleolar organizer position
• Heterochromatin pattern
• Secondary constriction
• Banding pattern
• Chromosomal abnormalities

chromosomes (blue) resulting from a
reciprocal exchange of parts of 2 non
homologous chromosomes

Variationin chromosome number
Organism
1 Set chromosome= Monoploid (X)
2 Sets chromosomes= Diploid (2X)
More than 2 sets= Polyploid (>2X)
Number of sets= “Ploidy”
Difference between Monoploid and haploid:
Haploid value(n) Monoploid (X)
Number of chromosome present in gamete Number of chromosome in single set
Ex. Humans
Diploid (2n)
2 Sets of chromosome (Paternal and maternal)
Monoploid, Haploid value= (X=n=23)
Ex: Hexaploid bread wheat
Hexaploid (6n)
6 sets of chromosome
Monoploid= X=7
Haploid value=n= 21

Polyploidy
Autopolyploidy
Multiplicationof same genome
May be,
Triploid (3X)
Tetraploid (4X)
Pentaploid (5X)
Hexaploid (6X)
Allopolyploidy
Crossing different species
and doubling chromosomes
of hybrid
Multiplication of different
genome/ hybrid genome
May be,
Tetraploid (3X)
Hexaploid (6X)

Aneuploidy
•Lossor gain of one/ few chromosomes
•Caused by non disjunction during mitosis or meiosis
•Non disjunction occurs spontaneously
•In meiotic non disjunction, chromosome may fail to disjoin at either, 1st
or 2nd
meiotic division (most frequently occurs in 1st
meiotic division)

Variationin Chromosome structure
Deletion
Loss of
segment of
chromosome
Types:
Terminal
Interstitial
Duplication
Occurrence of
segment of
chromosome in 2/
more copies per
genome
Types:
Tandem
Reverse
Inversion
Break of segment
and rotated before
rejoining
Types:
Pericentric
Paracentric
Heterozygous
Homozygous
Translocation
2 non homologous
chromosome
exchanges and
rearrangement of
segment happens
Types:
Reciprocal
Non reciprocal

Deletion
Deletionstarts where breaks occur in chromosomes
Breaks can be induced by agents like, Heat, Radiation (Ionizing
Radiation), Viruses, Chemicals and transposable elements
Examples:
1. Cri Du Chat syndrome (Deletion of part of short arm of
chromosome 5)
2. Prader Willi syndrome (Deletion of part of long arm of
chromosome 15)

Duplication
Doublingof a segment of a chromosome.
Example:
Bar mutant on X chromosome of Drosophila
melanogaster

Inversion
Asegment of Chromosome is excised and
then reintegrated at an orientation 180
degrees from the original orientation
It reveals about the evolution of humans

Translocation
Themovement of chromosomal segment to a new
location in the genome
Examples:
1. Familial Down syndrome
