BIOSTATISTICS: INTRODUCTION TO PROBABILITIES

Karyotyping and Genetic Probabilities             

Learning Objectives:

After the completion of the Laboratory Activity students should be able to:

1. Describe how karyotyping detects chromosomal abnormalities and its role in identifying phenotypic traits. 

2. Understand and apply the multiplication rule and addition rule in predicting genetic inheritance patterns.

3. Apply the binomial rule to predict probabilities of different genotypes across multiple offspring. 

4. Evaluate the role of probability in explaining Mendelian and chromosomal inheritance into clinical or research settings.  

Note: To help you complete this laboratory first complete the laboratory on Mendelian Genetics and Genetic problems.
