this is a pre-requisite for cancer biology? (they’ll have cases and wont get into cytogenetics, we need to know this on our own)

this is actually molecular cytogenetics

objectives

what is cytogenetics?

study of chromosomes and how they behave during cell cycle division (mitosis and meiosis)

those chromosome behave in a specicific pattern, leading to errors happening

if there are any errors in the cell cycle divsiion → leads to change in the structure or number of chromosomes

e.g

consitiutuaonal (inborn )→ down syndrome, klein filter

• are there treatment for them? no
