Question

True or False: An adult human nerve cell is suitable for karyotyping.

Please explain why it is true or false.

Answer 1

I think this might be false because the cell should never divide again. Hence it would be impossible to catch the cell at metaphase when the chromosomes are condensed so you can look at them after staining.

Answer 2

That's what I put as a last resort before running off to class, but thank you anyways! :D
