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.
