Transcribed Image Text:### Human Karyotype A karyotype is an organized profile of an individual's chromosomes. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person's genes. Here, we present a typical human karyotype showcasing 23 pairs of chromosomes arranged and numbered by size from 1 to 22, with the 23rd pair being the sex chromosomes (X and Y). 1. **Chromosome Pair 1**: The largest and is typically found to be well-banded. 2. **Chromosome Pair 2**: Slightly smaller than pair 1 with distinct banding patterns. 3. **Chromosome Pair 3**: Similar in size to chromosome pair 2. 4. **Chromosome Pair 4**: Noticeably smaller than pair 3. 5. **Chromosome Pair 5**: Smaller than pair 4, with defining band patterns. 6. **Chromosome Pair 6**: Similar in size to pair 5 but different in banding. 7. **Chromosome Pair 7**: Displays unique bands distinct from pair 6. 8. **Chromosome Pair 8**: Similar in size to pair 7, showing clear banding. 9. **Chromosome Pair 9**: Noticeable for its strong band patterns. 10. **Chromosome Pair 10**: Slightly smaller, with distinct bands. 11. **Chromosome Pair 11**: Smaller size but clear band distinctions. 12. **Chromosome Pair 12**: Comparable in size to pair 11. 13. **Chromosome Pair 13**: Noticeably smaller, with broad bands at the ends. 14. **Chromosome Pair 14**: Slightly smaller than pair 13, clear bands are present. 15. **Chromosome Pair 15**: Similar to pair 14 in size and banding patterns. 16. **Chromosome Pair 16**: Shows a smaller profile and different banding. 17. **Chromosome Pair 17**: Slightly larger in comparison to pair 16. 18. **Chromosome Pair 18**: A distinct small chromosome pair. 19. **Chromosome Pair 19**: Among the smaller chromosomes, well-banded. 20. **Chromosome Pair 20**: Similar to pair 19 in terms of size. 21. **Chromosome Pair 21**: Significantly smaller, with light banding. 22. **Chromosome Pair
