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 name of the chart used to determine a person's sex?
It is called a karyotype. If it shows two X chromosomes, the person is a female; if it shows one X and one Y chromosome, the person is a male.
Describe how the karyotype of an XXY human would differ from that of an XO human?
The karyotype of an XO human would be deficient one X chromosome, compared to that of a normal female, and it would result in a female. Normal human females only use one X chromosome, whereby one is inactivated, which is why an XO human is viable. An XXY human would have one extra X chromosome as compared to that of a normal male, and it would result in a male. Again, an X chromosome is inactivated, which is why an XXY human is viable. XO is referred to as Turner Syndrome. XXY is referred to as Klinefelter Syndrome.
How many chromosome pairs are in Drosophila?
The karyotype of Drosophila comprises four pairs of chromosomes, of which three pairs are autosomes and one pair are sex chromosomes. Female Drosophila are XX, and males XY.
Can parent with as and AA genotype give birth to ac genotype?
If the male parent has genotype AS and the female parent has genotype AA what is the offspring?
What is the genotype of a male grasshopper and a female grasshopper?
A male grasshopper's genotype is XO. A female grasshopper's genotype is XX. X represents the presence of a sex chromosome, and O represents the lack of a sex chromosome.

What is Meta-female?
It is the female having one additional X chromosome making her genotype 44 + XXX called meta female It is also called Super female
What is the name of the chart used to determine a person's sex?
It is called a karyotype. If it shows two X chromosomes, the person is a female; if it shows one X and one Y chromosome, the person is a male.
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.
What is the difference between male and female cells?
In humans and most (if not all) other eukaryote species, males have the karyotype XY in their chromosomes, and females have the genotype XX.
Which male genotype in the ZW sex chromosome system?
In the ZW sex chromosome system, the male genotype is ZZ. The letter Z represents the presence of a dominant male-determining gene, while the letter W represents the absence of this gene, which determines female development. Therefore, individuals with the ZZ genotype develop as males in this system.
How can you tell the sex of a person by looking at that person karyotype?
A male would have an X chromosome that literally looks like an X and Y chromosome that still resembles a X but is smaller like a lowercase x. A female would have two X chromosomes

The XO condition is known as Turner's Syndrome.
Why does the dad determine the gender of the baby?
Women have only X chromosomes. Men have one X and one Y. If the man's sperm has an X chromosomes, the child will be a girl. If the man's sperm has a Y chromosome, the child will be a boy.
