The photographed chromosomes of a cell, arranged by length, form a:
APhenotype
BGenotype
CKaryotype
DHaplotype
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Karyotype
1. Chromosomes can be removed from a cell in mitosis and spread out on a slide.
2. They are then rearranged for comparison.
3. An arrangement like this, artificially ordered according to length, is called a karyotype.
4. Genotype and phenotype describe genes and traits rather than a picture of chromosomes.
