Question 4 • Biology

What does a karyotype show?

Answer
A
carriers of a genetic disorder in a family
B
relationships among family members
C
alleles on each chromosome
D
genetic abnormalities

Explanation

A karyotype is an organized picture of a person's chromosomes, arranged in pairs. It can reveal chromosome abnormalities, such as an extra or missing chromosome. It does not show family relationships or identify the specific alleles on each chromosome, so the correct choice is genetic abnormalities.
