Interactive Karyotype Activity ^new^ [POPULAR]

The activity begins with a "jumble" of chromosomes. Using a "drag-and-drop" interface, you must identify homologous pairs based on three criteria:

// sex chromosomes: X and Y chrArray.push( id: idCounter++, type: 'X', sortKey: 23, label: 'X' ); chrArray.push( id: idCounter++, type: 'Y', sortKey: 23, label: 'Y' ); return chrArray; Interactive Karyotype Activity

A karyotype is a picture of a person’s chromosomes organized into homologous pairs. In an interactive activity, students drag, drop, and arrange scrambled chromosomes onto a grid. The activity begins with a "jumble" of chromosomes

A key component of the activity is identifying numerical or structural abnormalities. Common "patients" included in these simulations are: An extra 21st chromosome. label: 'X' )
