What are the chromosomes in each numbered group of a human karyotype called?

Chromosomes 1-22 are called autosomes.


What is the term for chromosomes that do not determine sex?

Chromosomes that aren't sex chromosomes are called autosomes. There are 44 autosomes in a normal human somatic cell and 22 in normal human gametes. The only chromosomes that affect the sex of an organism is the X and/or Y chromosome. XX = Female and XY = 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.


What is the difference between karyogram and karyotype?

karyogram is the picture of all chromosomes, karyotype is the description (eg. normal human female is 46, XX
