Question

What is the aim of karyotype analysis in allium species?

Answer 1

$\huge\underline\orange{\sf Answer}$

Aim of this study was to test if the rDNA sequences and banding methods are efficient chromosome markers for karyotyping and chromosome identification in cultivated Allium species.

Answer 2

Answer:

Karyotyping is the process by which cytogeneticists take photographs of chromosomes in order to determine the chromosome complement of an individual, including the number of chromosomes and any abnormalies. The term is also used for the complete set of chromosomes in a species or in an individual organism[1][2][3] and for a test that detects this complement or measures the number.

Karyotypes describe the chromosome count of an organism and what these chromosomes look like under a light microscope. Attention is paid to their length, the position of the centromeres, banding pattern, any differences between the sex chromosomes, and any other physical characteristics.[4] The preparation and study of karyotypes is part of cytogenetics.
