An extra X chromosome in a male. Edward’s Syndrome (Trisomy 18): An extra 18th chromosome.
Check for Trisomy (three chromosomes instead of a pair) or Monosomy (a single chromosome).
Three copies of chromosome 21. Characteristics: The student will see a distinct triplet in the G group (small acrocentric chromosomes). This is the most frequent chromosomal disorder encountered in these activities.
Interactive modeling shifts learning from passive reading to active problem-solving. This approach provides several distinct advantages: Interactive Karyotype Activity
An interactive karyotype activity is a dynamic educational tool used to teach students about genetics, chromosome structure, and genetic disorders by allowing them to virtually organize and analyze a human genome.
Students receive a printed sheet of scrambled chromosomes, scissors, and a blank chart.

While high school activities usually focus on Down syndrome, advanced interactive karyotype activities for university students include more complex structural abnormalities: Offers advanced modules for high school and college levels
Find the homologous pair for each chromosome. Use the banding patterns to ensure they are identical "mates".
Students zoom in to ensure the dark and light banding patterns on the chromosome arms match flawlessly.
There are several types of interactive karyotype activities that can be used in the classroom:
