   Karyotype
   A `karyotype` is the characteristic chromosome complement of a eukaryote species. The preparation and study of karyotypes is part of cytology and, more specifically, cytogenetics. In normal diploid organisms, autosomal chromosomes are present in two identical copies, though polyploid cells have multiple copies of chromosomes and haploid cells have single copies. The study of whole sets of chromosomes is sometimes known as karyology. The chro...
