In a regular human body cell, there are 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent. Of these, 2 are sex chromosomes, so named because they determine the sex of the individual. The other 44 (22 in each set) are called autosomes. Any exceptions to the above are instances of aneuploidy. They are relatively rare.

How many chromosomes in a human karyotype?

A karyotype is the number and appearance of chromosomes in the nucleus of a eukaryote cell. There are 46 chromosomes in a human karyotype. However, there are twenty-three pairs. In a karyotype, chromosomes are showed in pairs, because twenty-three are from one parent, and twenty-three are from another. In a cell, there are twenty-two pairs of chromosomes called autosomes, and one pair of sex chromosomes. The sex chromosomes are different in a male and a female. For a male, it is one x chromosome and one y chromosome. In a female, it is two x chromosomes. So, as a recap, there are 46 chromosomes. The only exceptions to this are autistic people. For them, there is usually a duplication or deletion of one chromosome. In other words, a person would have 47 or 45 chromosomes.


How many chromosomes should a normal karyotype contain?

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.
