What clues to the presence of certain genetic disorders can be seen in a karyotype

Chromosome abnormalities are a group of genetic disorders characterized by abnormalities in their chromosomes, whether structural or numerical. This type of condition can be detected by a karyotype.

A karyotype is a laboratory technique used to observe all the chromosomes of an individual to see if there are any problems in it. A karyotype is a picture of all your chromosomes.

A normal karyotype shows 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 in total).

When there's an extra chromosome, it receives the name of trisomy (+ the number of the chromosomal "pair" where there's the extra chromosome). For example: Trisomy 21 - Down Syndrome.

When there's a chromosome missing, that is called monosomy (+ the number of the pair where there's a chromosome missing).

Damaged chromosomes can lead to loss of genetic material or translocation of said information.

Answer:

Extra chromosome, missing chromosome or damaged chromosomes

Explanation:

Genetic disorders can be seen/detected from a karyotype photograph. a Karyotype represents the number and visual appearance of the chromosomes in the cell nuclei of an organism.

Karyotype is a laboratory technique that is used to produce the image of chromosomes of an individual in the laboratory . this technique is used to detect the presence of genetic disorders in an individual because and individual is supposed to have 26 pairs of Chromosomes and if it is less or more in the Karyotype its means there is a genetic disorder in the individual.
