Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A karyotype is a visual representation of the chromosomes within an organism's cell, arranged and organized based on size, length, shape, and centromere location. This can be used to identify genetic disorders and abnormalities. Autosomes refer to all of an organism's chromosomes except for the sex chromosomes (X and Y). Primers are short pieces of DNA used as starting points for DNA replication or PCR amplification. Diploid refers to having two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. Ligase is an enzyme used to join two pieces of DNA together.
