    Study Notes

    • The text discusses the classification system for human chromosomes, using the International System of Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature (ISCN).
    • Chromosome classification is based on two aspects: size and centromere location.
    • Chromosomes are arranged in order of size from largest to smallest.
    • Based on centromere location, chromosomes can be metacentric (centromero in the middle), submetacentric (centromero near one end, resulting in a short and long arm), acrocentric (centromero near one end, resulting in a long and short arm with a satellite), or telocentric (centromero at one end with no satellite).
    • The human chromosome classification consists of seven groups:
    • Group A: Chromosomes 1, 2, and 3 are the largest and metacentric, with chromosomes 1 and 3 having their centromeres in the middle, and chromosome 2 being submetacentric.
    • Group B: Chromosomes 4 and 5 are smaller and metacentric, with chromosome 5 being slightly smaller than chromosome 4.
    • Group C: Chromosomes 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12, as well as the X chromosome, are metacentric of medium size, with the X chromosome being one of the larger chromosomes in the group.
    • Group D: Chromosomes 13, 14, and 15 are submetacentric and medium in size but have satellites.
    • Group E: Chromosomes 16, 17, and 18 are small with chromosome 16 being metacentric and chromosomes 17 and 18 being submetacentric.
    • Group F: Chromosomes 19 and 20 are metacentric and small in size.
    • Group G: Chromosomes 21, 22, and the Y chromosome are macrocentric, have satellites, and the Y chromosome has no satellite and a more notorious short arm. Chromosomes 21 and 22 are the smallest chromosomes in the human karyotype.
