Expert Solution
Step 1

Karyotype is a total collection of the chromosomes of a organism. For suppose the karytope of humans is 23 pairs of chromosomes. Human beings have 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes and 1 pair of sexual chromosomes. Autosomes contains genes regarding different body functions, and produces proteins necessary for body activities. They do not determine the sex of the offspring. Sex chromosomes are the chromosomes which determine the sex of the off spring.
