Question

In adults,the cell used most often for karyotyping is a
A)red blood cell.
B)skin cell.
C)gamete.
D)white blood cell.

Accepted Answer

White blood cells are used for karyotyping in adults as they have a nucleus containing DNA which can be visualized and analyzed for chromosomal abnormalities. Red blood cells do not have a nucleus and gametes have half the number of chromosomes, making it difficult to study chromosomal abnormalities. Skin cells can also be used, but they are not as commonly used as white blood cells.
