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.

The image displays a human karyotype, which is an organized profile of a person's chromosomes. In this arrangement:

- Chromosomes are paired and numbered from 1 to 22, known as autosomes, followed by the sex chromosomes, X and Y.
- Each pair is arranged in order of decreasing size.
- The karyotype is typically used to examine an individual's chromosomal makeup and can help in identifying genetic disorders.
- The sex chromosomes, labeled as X and Y, determine the individual's sex. In this karyotype, there is one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, indicating a male individual.

The image is from Brooks/Cole - Thomson, 2006, and is labeled as Fig. 6-23a, p.138.
