Karyotype Analysis - Explaining Genetic Disorders
There is this fictious bug that has a duplication disorder, causing it to have 2 heads, banding on the wings, and additional body segments.
How can a duplication of a chromosome of the first pair produce a double head and, at the same time, affect the wing pigmentation and body segmentation?
I don't understand why Please help.
Also:
What kind of information would be required if karyotype analysis were to be used to detect the genetic disorders of real organisms?
