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.

Transcribed Image Text:This image displays a karyotype, which is an organized profile of a person's chromosomes. It depicts 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes, labeled from 1 to 22, followed by a pair of sex chromosomes labeled X and Y. Each chromosome pair is arranged in order of size, from largest (1) to smallest (22). The chromosomes are banded, which helps in identifying any genetic abnormalities. Chromosome pairs are typically made up of one chromosome inherited from the mother and one from the father. The presence of both an X and a Y chromosome indicates that the karyotype is male. Chromosomes are examined in detail for any structural changes, additional or missing chromosomes, which can indicate genetic conditions. The text "ZWK99040 KEY" is likely an identifier or a reference for this specific karyotype analysis. Below the chromosomes, there is a number (9) which may indicate a case number, page number, or figure number in the original source.
