There are two chromosomes that determine the sex of the baby, X and Y. The women's ova are always chromosome X and the male sperm determines the sex of the baby, having the option of being either X or Y. If the sperm is and X then the sex will be female, and if it is a Y it will be a male. XX=girl, XY=boy.

What is sex of the individual your karyotype belongs to and how do you know this?

The sex of an individual can be determined by analyzing the karyotype for the presence of sex chromosomes. A karyotype with two X chromosomes is typically female (XX), while a karyotype with one X and one Y chromosome is typically male (XY). This distinction is made based on the presence or absence of the Y chromosome, which carries genes related to male development.

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.
