Notes

The work presents twenty-three unique pairs of socks, presented in a classical format known as a karyotype, illustrating the number of chromosomes in a eukaryotic cell or the complete set of chromosomes in an organism. The choice of socks is popular among biology classes in order to teach genetic reproduction and genetic disorders, as well as to demonstrate how individuals are also defined and influenced by their cultural surroundings and other external factors.
