There are two chromosomes that determine the sex of the baby, X and Y. The women's ova are always chromosome X and the male sperm determines the sex of the baby, having the option of being either X or Y. If the sperm is and X then the sex will be female, and if it is a Y it will be a male. XX=girl, XY=boy.

What is a normal male karyotype?

The 23rd pair of human chromosomes tells the gender with xx being and xy being male which gender is karyotype?

What does it tell you about a person if you examine a human karyotype and it looks like there are two x chromosomes?
It means they are female.
How can you identify the difference of a female chromosome and a male chromosome?
What differentiates a male from a female based off the chromosomes that are present is that a male organism will have X and Y chromosomes whereas a female organism will have X and X chromosomes.
Is a karyotype a type of gene?
No. A karyotype is an arrangement of the 22 pairs of homologous chromosomes and the 2 sex chromosomes according to their size and shape. The chromosomes are photographed during metaphase of mitosis and then arranged by a trained technologist. Karyotypes are determined in order to check for chromosomal abnormalities. Refer to the related links to see examples of a karyotype for a female and one for a male.

Does your karyotype represent a male of a female?
The question is not really clear. A karyotype is the overall complement of chromosomes isolated from a cell or organism (eukaryotic). When the karyotype of a normal healthy female is prepared for viewing by a cytogeneticist, there are 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes present (ie two of chromosome 1, two of chromosome 2 etc...). There is one additional pair of sex chromosomes (two copies of X). A normal healthy human male also has 22 pairs of autosomes but the pair of sex chromosomes is not matched but instead there is one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (which is smaller than the X). So, if you look at a karyotype that has been laid out - if the two sex chromosomes are different sizes (X and Y) then the karyotype is from a male, if however they are the same size (X and X) then the karyotype is from a female.
