During bleeding, both formed elements (platelets, white blood cells, red blood cells) and plasma are lost from the circulatory system. They are lost proportionally, so initially there is no change in hematocrit.
Hematocrit is the percentage of the blood volume made up of elements (Hct = cell volume/blood volume). During dehydration, only water and electrolytes are lost, and the number of cells remains constant - the same number of cells in a smaller volume leads to an increase in hematocrit. When the body tries to restore blood volume, the first thing to recirculate is water from the ECF and this increases the amount of water without increasing the amount of red blood cells, so the compensatory mechanism causes the hematocrit to fall.

Explanation:
A karyotype is defined as the size, shape, and number of chromosomes present in an organism.
An analysis is usually done on a karyotype to see if individuals have abnormal numbers or sizes of chromosomes. Such abnormalities may arise from;
Deletion: which implies that a chromosomal part is missing.
Duplication: where parts of a chromosome are repeated.
Translocation: which occurs when a chromosomal part breaks off and gets attached to another chromosome.
Nondisjunction: in which chromosomes do not separate from the parent cells.
Common chromosomal disorders arising from these abnormalities include;
Down's syndrome
Edwards syndrome
Turner's syndrome
Klinefelter syndrome
Prada-willi syndrome
Cri-du-chat syndrome
Patau's syndrome
