Answer 1

To identify a genetic disorder using a karyotype, one typically looks for abnormalities such as an extra chromosome (trisomy), a missing chromosome (monosomy), or structural changes to chromosomes in specific pairs.

Among the given options, the most commonly associated chromosome pair with a genetic disorder is **chromosome pair 21**. An extra copy of chromosome 21 is associated with Down syndrome (trisomy 21).

So the correct response would be:

**Chromosome pair 21**.
