A karyotype is a picture of all the chromosomes in a cell (x and y) arranged in pairs. Doctors use this to see if a person has the correct number of chromosomes in his or her body. They also use this for other things. The 23rd pair of chromosomes in the karyotype shows if the person is male or female. A girl would have to x chromosomes (xx) while a boy would have a pair of x and y chromosomes (xy). Karyotypes can show genetic disorders or mutations, such as Down syndrome. In Down syndrome, the person has an extra chromosome on the 21st pair. There are only supposed to be 23 pairs (56 single chromosomes). By using a karyotype, Genetic Counselors can determine whether a couple can have a chance of having a baby with a genetic disorder.

Would a karyotype reveal the presence of sickle-cell disease Why or why not?
From my own opinion:I believe that a Karotype would NOT reveal the presence of sickle-cell disease because a karotype only shows pictures of all the chromosomes in a cell..But sickle-cell disease causes red blood cells to become sickle-shaped. So, basically, it involves red blood cells, not chromosomes.

How many cells are in a karotype?
A karyotype is the number and type of chromosomes within the nucleus of a cell of a species. Given that definition, the karyotype is within the cell. There can be no cells within the karyotype.
What three things does a karotype show?
A karyotype shows the number, size, and shape of chromosomes in a cell. It allows for the identification of genetic abnormalities and can be used to diagnose chromosomal disorders such as Down syndrome.
What is shown in karotype?
A karyotype is a visual representation of an individual's chromosomes arranged by size, banding pattern, and centromere location. It can reveal the number of chromosomes present, any structural abnormalities, and gender of the individual.
What has the author B Kjessler written?
B. Kjessler has written: 'Karyotype, meiosis, and spermatogenesis in a sample of men attending an infertility clinic' -- subject(s): Human chromosomes, Human genetics, Spermatogenesis 'Karotype, meiosis and spermatogenesis in a sample of men attending an infertility clinic'
Would a karyotype reveal the presence of a sickle-cell disease?
No a karyotype would not reveal the presence of sickle cell because karyotypes are pictures of all of your chromosomes, so it could show the presence of Down syndrome, but not sickle cell disease.
How can you identify a monosomy in a karyotype?
The karotype of an individual can be compared with a standard (an example of a known good karotypefor the target species). Karotyping looks for obvious differences in chromosome count and abnormal morphology of individual chromosomes relative to the standard.
