Question

23. A karyotype is a complete ________. A) Haploid complement display of chromosomes B) Diploid complement display of homologous chromosome pairs C) Display of sex hormones D) Display of autosomes​

Answer 1

Diploid set of Chromosomes

Explanation:

• karyotype is the characteristic of the chromosomes in a somatic cell of an individual or species, with regard to their number, size, shape, etc.

• A karyotype appear as the complete diploid set of chromosomes grouped together in pairs.  

• Humans have 23 chromosome pairs = 64 chromosomes. Karyotype uses homologous chromosome pairs from metaphase as the chromosomes are duplicated and condensed.

• The karyotype is used to look determined for abnormal numbers or structures of chromosomes.

• Karyotyping is the processing  of pair and order all the chromosomes of an organism.  

• Karyotypes are produced using standardized staining procedures that reveal characteristic structural features for each chromosome.

Answer 2

B) Diploid complement display of homologous chromosome pairs is the correct answer.

• Karyotype refers to the visual representation of chromosomes present in nuclei of a cell.
• The karyotype of human cell is done to understand chromosomal abnormality with specific aim to determine change in structure or number of chromosomes that hinders growth and development.
• The representation contains 22 pair of autosomes and sex chromosomes, which will be XX in case of females and XY in case of males.
