Question

This HeLa cell (refer to picture), interestingly, has ________ copies of its sex chromosomes.

Transcribed Image Text:This image is a karyotype, which is a complete set of chromosomes in an individual organism. It displays an organized profile of human chromosomes arranged and numbered from 1 to 22, followed by the sex chromosomes, X and Y. Each chromosome is displayed in pairs, showing two chromatids joined at a centromere. The pairs are organized in descending order of size. Here's a brief overview: 1. Chromosomes 1 to 22: These are autosomes, which are homologous pairs present in both males and females. 2. X/Y: These are the sex chromosomes. In this image, the presence of one X and one Y chromosome indicates a male karyotype. The banding patterns seen in each chromosome are characteristic and used to identify specific chromosomes and any structural abnormalities. This karyotype analysis is essential for detecting chromosomal disorders and genetic research.
