What criteria are used to arrange chromosomes in a karyotype?
Karyotype is an organized profile of person's chromosomes. In a karyotype, chromosomes are arranged and numbered by size, from largest to smallest. This arrangement helps quickly identify chromosomal alterations that may result in a genetic disorder.

About Chromosomes
Chromosomes are long pieces of DNA that are found in the center (nucleus) of plant, animal and human cells. Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). DNA is the material that holds genes and it is considered to be the building block of the human body.
