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.

Name one pair of chromosomes not homologous in a normal karyotype?
The X (female) and Y (male) chromosomes. A person with XX is female. A person with XY is male.
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.
What are heterosomes?
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.
What is the difference between karyogram and karyotype?
karyogram is the picture of all chromosomes, karyotype is the description (eg. normal human female is 46, XX
What pair of chromosomes is not homologous in a normal male karyotype?
sex chromosomes
What is a normal male karyotype?
The male karyotype has 46 chromosomes the same as the female karyotype:23 chromosomes are inherited from your father.
One of the pair of chromosomes that determines the sex of an individual?
The 23rd pair in a karyotype shows if it will be male or female
Name one pair of chromosomes not homologous in a normal karyotype?
The X (female) and Y (male) chromosomes. A person with XX is female. A person with XY is male.
The 23rd pair of human chromosomes tells the gender with xx being and xy being male which gender is karyotype?
XX is Female XY is Male
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.
What are heterosomes?
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.
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.
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 letters are used to represent female and male?
x nd y
How does Shakespeare represent Male and Female relationships in Macbeth?

Who is the female saint for truth?
There is no male or female saint of truth since all saints represent truth.
Is a karyotype a type of gene?
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.
