Solution
The normal human karyotype has 2 sex chromosomes and 44 autosomes.
Explanation:
The normal human karyotype has 2 sex chromosomes and 44 autosomes. This means that out of the total 46 chromosomes in a diploid human cell, two chromosomes determine the sex of the individual (XX for females and XY for males), while the remaining 44 chromosomes are autosomes, which carry the bulk of genetic information unrelated to sex determination.
