A karyotype of a human female shows that she has only one sex chromosome what is the genotype for her condition?

XO


What is a karyotype and what type of mutation does it show?

A karyotype is a picture of the chromosomes in a cell. For example, a human cell has 46 chromosomes. In the karyotype, 23 pairs of chromosomes will be shown (23 x 2 = 46). A karyotype can show different types of mutations, depending on which chromosome it affects. For example, Down Syndrome is a trisomy in chromosome 21, so there will be THREE instead of two chromosome 21s. You can research more mutations shown by chromosomes in a karyotype.


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.


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.

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.
