Question
determine the sex of the individual whose karyotype is displayed in the image. male female
To determine the sex from a karyotype, we look at the sex chromosomes. In humans, females have two X chromosomes (XX), and males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). By examining the karyotype image, we identify the sex chromosomes. If there are two X - like chromosomes (or a pair of X and a different - looking Y, but in typical female karyotypes, the sex chromosomes are a homologous pair, usually appearing as two similar - looking X chromosomes), the individual is female. In this case, the karyotype shows the sex chromosomes consistent with a female (XX configuration).
