Question 31 • LHS Biology 1

What does a karyotype show?

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

Explanation

A karyotype displays a person’s chromosomes arranged in pairs, making it possible to spot differences in chromosome number or structure. These differences can indicate genetic abnormalities, so the correct choice is “genetic abnormalities.” It does not show family relationships, identify carriers in a family, or list the alleles on each chromosome.
