sex chromosomes
The X (female) and Y (male) chromosomes. A person with XX is female. A person with XY is male.
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.
Heterosomes are the sex chromosomes, i.e.: the 23rd pair of chromosomes in a karyotype. In a human female these are XX, and in a human male they are XY.
A human gamete does not have any pairs of homologous chromosomes. A single human gamete contains 23 chromosomes, or a half set. None of these chromosomes are homologous with each other.
In an average somatic (body) cell, two. and in human gametes there is , one all chromosomes in human body is , 46 chromosomes. in normal female somatic cell is (44+XX) . in normal male somatic cell (44+XY) in normal female gametes (22+X) in normal male gametes (22+X) or (22+Y) .
The X (female) and Y (male) chromosomes. A person with XX is female. A person with XY is male.
The male karyotype has 46 chromosomes the same as the female karyotype:23 chromosomes are inherited from your father.
A karyotype will consist of all the homologous pairs of chromosomes and also one pair of chromosomes representing the sex of the organism (male/female). In Humans, a karyotype will consist of 22 homologous pairs of chromosomes and 1 pair of either XX or XY chromosomes. The total number of homologous pairs of chromosomes depends largely upon which organism is being taken into account, since each organism has its characteristic number of chromosomes in a diploid cell - in humans this is 46.
Yes. A karyotype will show the chromosomes and an affected person will have XXY instead of XY for a normal male.
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.
There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in a normal human karyotype.

chromosomes having centromere of same size and position
Heterosomes are the sex chromosomes, i.e.: the 23rd pair of chromosomes in a karyotype. In a human female these are XX, and in a human male they are XY.
A human gamete does not have any pairs of homologous chromosomes. A single human gamete contains 23 chromosomes, or a half set. None of these chromosomes are homologous with each other.
The 23rd pair in a karyotype shows if it will be male or female
