A karyotype is the complete set of chromosomes of an individual, arranged in pairs according to size, shape, and number. It represents the diploid or haploid chromosome complement characteristic of a species or individual. Karyotyping is used to identify chromosomal abnormalities, understand genetic disorders, and determine the sex of an individual by analyzing the chromosome pattern under a microscope. It is essential in genetic studies and prenatal diagnosis.
