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.

### Human Karyotype Diagram

This image represents a human karyotype, which visually displays the complete set of chromosomes in a human cell. Chromosomes are arranged in 23 pairs, numbered from 1 to 22, followed by the sex chromosomes labeled as X and Y. Each pair consists of two chromosomes, one inherited from each parent. This specific karyotype shows a normal male, as indicated by the presence of both X and Y chromosomes.

- **Chromosome Pairs 1-22:** These are autosomes, and they appear numbered in descending order of their size. Each chromosome has characteristic banding patterns, which helps in identifying them.

- **Sex Chromosomes (X and Y):** Located at the bottom, these determine the genetic sex of the individual. In this karyotype, one X and one Y chromosome are present.

The image is a part of a textbook (© 2006 Brooks/Cole - Thomson) and is labeled as Fig. 6-17b, p.134. It serves as an educational tool to aid in the study of genetics and chromosomal identification.
