because in meiosis, you receive 23 from your mother and 23 from your father, making there a total of 46

How many chromatids does a chromosome typically have when a karyotype is taken?

When a karyotype is taken, a chromosome typically has two chromatids.


What pair of chromosomes is not homologous in a normal male karyotype?

The pair of sex chromosomes (X and Y) is not homologous in a normal male karyotype. Males have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X 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.


When a chromosome appears by itself within a karyotype and not as a pair it is known as?

monosomy. This term refers to the condition where an individual is missing one copy of a particular chromosome and only has one copy instead of the normal two.


The two chromosomes in each matching pair in a karyotype are?

The two chromosomes in each matching pair in a karyotype are homologous chromosomes. These homologous chromosomes carry genes for the same traits at the same loci. One chromosome in the pair is inherited from the mother and the other from the father.


How does a normal karyotype looks like?

Two straight lines


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.


What is a karyotype and what type of mutation does it show?

A karyotype is a picture of the chromosomes in a cell. For example, a human cell has 46 chromosomes. In the karyotype, 23 pairs of chromosomes will be shown (23 x 2 = 46). A karyotype can show different types of mutations, depending on which chromosome it affects. For example, Down Syndrome is a trisomy in chromosome 21, so there will be THREE instead of two chromosome 21s. You can research more mutations shown by chromosomes in a karyotype.


How the karyotypes of klinefelter syndrome differ from the normal karyotypes?

The karyotype of a person with Down Syndrome differs from a normal karyotype because it contains a three chromosomes in the 21st slot, where there should only be a pair of two. That is why this is called Trisomy 21.


A cell with one of each kind of chromosome is what?

If you mean haploid, as in half of each chromosome, or containing only one chromatid from each full chromosome, thenthe cell is called haploid.


How many autosomes are present in a normal human karyotype?

There are 46 chromosomes in a human Karyotype.


What is the result of normal chromosome replication?

Normal chromosome replication results in two identical copies of the original chromosome, each with one chromatid. This process ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes during cell division.
