Chromosomes and Karyotypes Amoeba Sisters Handout

This Chromosomes and Karyotypes Amoeba Sisters handout was made to accompany the Chromosomes and Karyotypes video made by the Amoeba Sisters on YouTube.

In this video, students will explore chromosome structure, how chromosomes are counted, why chromosomes are important, and how they can be arranged in a karyotype.

This is not your average video worksheet!

My worksheets are designed to include:

• An anticipation activity to access prior knowledge and spark engagement
• Multiple choice questions in order of the video (not too slow or too fast)
• An independent activity for student practice after the video
• A fun extension activity

Chromosomes and Karyotypes Amoeba Sisters Handout Topics:

• Introduction to chromosomes and DNA packaging
• Replicated vs. unreplicated chromosomes
• Chromosome and chromatid counting during mitosis
• What karyotypes show and how they are made
• Homologous pairs, autosomes, and sex chromosomes
• Haploid gametes, diploid body cells, and zygotes
• How karyotypes can reveal genetic disorders

This is a two-page handout available in PDF and Google Slides. The first page includes a prior knowledge “hook” activity and multiple choice questions that follow the sequence of the video. The second page includes an independent practice activity and optional extension activity.
