Cytogenetic is a field of biology that focuses on the study of the structure and function of chromosomes. It combines aspects of genetics and cell biology to understand the role chromosomes play in inheritance, gene expression, and the manifestation of genetic disorders. At the heart of cytogenetic is the concept that our genetic makeup is housed within chromosomes, which are tightly packed structures made of DNA and proteins. These chromosomes are fundamental to the process of inheritance, as they carry the genetic instructions needed for the development, growth, and functioning of living organisms. The study of chromosomes has been pivotal in advancing our understanding of genetics, offering insights into a wide array of genetic conditions and diseases, from Down syndrome to various forms of cancer.
