Question

this image is a human karyotype - a photo of all of the chromosomes in a cell. medical technicians analyze karyotypes from human cells to look for chromosomal abnormalities. which two conclusions about the karyotype shown here are accurate? select the two best answers. this is a haploid set of chromosomes - no homologs are present. this cell is diploid and has 23 different chromosome types, meaning that 2n equals 46. the chromosomes are short and thick, meaning that they are condensed. the chromosomes are extremely long and thread - like, meaning that they are in the open configuration and dna is actively being used to make rnas.

Explanation:

• For the second option: In humans, diploid cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes (so 2n = 46). Each pair is a different type (one from each parent).
• For the third option: Chromosomes condense (become short and thick) during cell division (like mitosis or meiosis) which is when karyotypes are typically made.

Answer:

• This cell is diploid and has 23 different chromosome types, meaning that 2n equals 46.
• The chromosomes are short and thick, meaning that they are condensed.
