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.

What is the difference between karyogram and karyotype?

What is human karyotype?

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.

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.

What is achondroplasia's karyotype?

Achondroplasia is caused by a mutation in the FGFR3 gene and is not related to a specific karyotype. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, and individuals with achondroplasia typically have a normal karyotype (46 chromosomes in humans).

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.
