CYTOGENETICS INTRODUCTION TO CYTOGENETICS evolution and other non-scientific teaching. Clinical Laboratory (Pathology) Hematology Genetics - the study of blood and blood disorders. - from Ancient Greek genetikos - deals with the concepts and principles of (“genitive”) & genesis (“origin) hemostasis, and abnormalities involving - a discipline of biology; RBCs, WBCs, and platelets. - the science of heredity and variation in living organisms.

CREATION THEORY SOLUTION FOR MUTATIONAL DEGREDATION - Death has to be overcome. - Creator of life takes over creature’s sad fate. He borrowed a human womb of a SURROGATE mother, Mary, that He may have a house. In vitro fertilization - mature eggs are collected from ovaries and fertilized by sperm in a lab. CONCLUSION In the absence of a known disorder, Cytogenetics retains its position as the only clinical laboratory test to be able to survey the genetic cellular constitution of an individual with a single assay. Clinical applications for cytogenetic analysis= range from prenatal diagnosis to cancer evaluation.
