karyotype

A standardized arrangement of pictures of an individual’s chromosomes cut out from a microphotograph of a cell and rearranged into homologous pairs according to size and other physical characteristics. The standardized arrangement of karyotypes allows medical researchers to discover if an individual is a male or female and if he/she has any gross chromosomal abnormalities.
