What do karotypes and pedigrees have in common?

Essentially, karyotypes are the number and visual appearance of the chromosomes found in an organism. Pedigrees are t he genetic makeup of a person's ancestors; usually, a chart which follows a single trait as it is passed from generation to generation.

In pedigrees, we can observe carriers for a particular disease through symbols and shades throughout generations. In pedigrees, we can observe the succession of the diseases throughout generations. We can also deduce the genotype and phenotype of the offspring based on pedigrees with family histories of the disease. T his can only be observed in karyotypes because we are able to visualize the chromosomes per person.
