A picture of chromosomes is called a "karyotype."
A normal female karyotype would be described as 46 XX. A karotype shows the pairs of metaphase chromosomes of an individual cell and sorted according to size.
A male's karyotype typically consists of 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes, XY. The chromosomes would be arranged from largest to smallest, with the sex chromosomes at the end. So, the karyotype for a male would show 46 chromosomes, arranged with the XY sex chromosomes in the 23rd pair.
The sex chromosomes will usually be in the last place on the karyotype (typically the bottom right corner). If/when the karyotype is numbered, the sex chromosomes should be numbered as the 23rd pair.
The chart of chromosomes is called a karyotype. It is a visual representation of an individual's chromosomes arranged in order of size and shape. Karyotypes are used to analyze the number and structure of chromosomes in cells.

This is called a karyotype. It is a visual representation of an individual's chromosomes arranged according to their size, shape, and banding patterns, typically used to identify chromosomal abnormalities or disorders.
Human karyotype = 1 pair of sex determining chromosomes, either xx or xy, and 22 pairs of autosomes.

A human karyotype is the number and appearance of chromosomes in the nucleus of a human cell. It is usually depicted as a systematized arrangement of chromosome pairs according to their size, shape, and banding pattern. A normal human karyotype includes 46 chromosomes, with 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes.
The sex chromosomes will usually be in the last place on the karyotype (typically the bottom right corner). If/when the karyotype is numbered, the sex chromosomes should be numbered as the 23rd pair.
A karyotype is a picture of all the chromosomes in a cell (x and y) arranged in pairs. Doctors use this to see if a person has the correct number of chromosomes in his or her body. They also use this for other things. The 23rd pair of chromosomes in the karyotype shows if the person is male or female. A girl would have to x chromosomes (xx) while a boy would have a pair of x and y chromosomes (xy). Karyotypes can show genetic disorders or mutations, such as Down syndrome. In down syndrome, the person has an extra chromosome on the 21st pair. There are only supposed to be 23 pairs (56 single chromosomes). By using a karyotype, Genetic Counselors can determine whether a couple can have a chance of having a baby with a genetic disorder.

This particular karyotype has 45 chromosomes (instead of the usual 46). "XO" tells us that the karyotype is missing a sex chromosome: the individual has an X, but no homologous sex chromosome (X or Y) to complete the diploid pair.
