Answer:

Karyotype

Explanation:

A karyotype is a picture of all the chromosomes in an individual. These images are analyzed by geneticists to identify structural changes in the chromosomes or to identify differences in number as is the case for Down syndrome.

Karyotyping is used to identify certain genetic diseases associated with chromosomal aberrations. This is associated with the field of cytogenetics.
