Abstract
This laboratory allows students to study human chromosomes without using blood. The instructor is provided with unstained metaphase slides prepared from cell culture. Students perform chromosome staining and G-banding and study and identify G-banded chromosomes under the microscope. Next they perform karyotyping using an innovative dichotomous key to individual chromosomes.
