    In diploid organisms, such as humans, autosomal chromosomes (the non-sex chromosomes) are present in two copies. Thus, a karyotype of a healthy person shows 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes as well as a pair of sex chromosomes (XX in females and XY in males).

    A karyotype is an organized profile of a person's chromosomes. Two chromosomes specify sex, XX for female and XY for male. The rest are arranged in pairs, numbered 1 through 22, from largest to smallest. This arrangement helps scientists quickly identify chromosomal alterations that may result in a genetic disorder.

    A karyotype is a visual representation of the chromosomes within a single cell. This shows what the chromosomes look like under a microscope. A karyotype can detect large chromosomal differences, like extra or missing chromosomes, rearrangements amongst the chromosomes, or structural differences within the chromosomes.
