How can you use “karyotypes” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Most patients (61%) had unfavorable karyotypes.
Diploid birds with one or three sex chromosomes were last reported 70 years ago [ 19], but triploid birds with ZZZ and ZZW karyotypes have been observed.
The karyotypes of humans and the African and Asian great apes are remarkably well conserved, with relatively few large-scale chromosomal changes among these species despite the considerable phenotypic and biological differences between hominoids [ 1 2 3 ] . This conservation is particularly relevant in comparisons between the human ( Homo sapiens ; HSA) and common chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes ; PTR) genomes, for in order to completely ascertain the evolution of our own lineage it is necessary to understand what differentiates us at the genomic level from our closest relatives.
The CpG island density is also in agreement with a report of FISH karyotypes using CpG island probes [ 46] with contrasting fluorescent signal in late-replicating regions.
Primarily examined through the use of G-banding cytogenetic techniques, the human and common chimpanzee karyotypes differ by only 10 euchromatic rearrangements: a telomere fusion between PTR chromosomes 12 and 13, resulting in HSA chromosome 2, and 9 pericentric inversions (HSA 1, 4, 5, 9, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18) [ 1 2 ] . The predominance of pericentric inversions between chimps and humans highlights their potential importance in the divergence of human from non-human primate species, and provides an opportunity to investigate the mechanism facilitating these rearrangements.
