Question

Analyze the karyotype shown. Indicate if it is a chromosomal male or achromosomal female. If the karyotype is normal, write the word normal under name or description. If the karyotype is abnormal, name or describethe disorder.

This image displays a karyotype, which is a complete set of chromosomes in a species. It shows 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes, numbered 1 through 22, and two sex chromosomes labeled X and Y. Each pair is organized based on size and banding pattern.

- **Chromosomes 1-22**: These are autosomes, responsible for various genetic functions.
- **X and Y Chromosomes**: These determine the sex of an individual; the presence of both X and Y indicates a male karyotype.

Each chromosome is stained to reveal banding patterns, which are unique identifiers and help in detecting chromosomal abnormalities. This karyotype is typically used in genetic counseling, prenatal screening, and detecting genetic disorders.
