The chromosomes are arranged and numbered by size, from largest to smallest. This karyotype consists of 23 pairs of chromosomes, including 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (X and Y). In this karyotype, there are two X chromosomes and one Y chromosome, indicating the presence of an extra X chromosome. This chromosomal arrangement corresponds to Klinefelter Syndrome, a genetic condition where a male is born with an extra copy of the X chromosome (XXY).
