Human Chromosomes
Human Chromosomes
Cells are photographed during mitosis. Scientists then cut out the chromosomes from the photographs and group them together in pairs.
A picture of chromosomes arranged in this way is known as a karyotype.

Human Chromosomes
Two of the 46 human chromosomes are known as sex chromosomes, because they determine an individual's sex.
• Females XX
• Males XY
The remaining 44 chromosomes are known as autosomes.

Human Traits
A circle representsa female.
A horizontal line connecting a male and a female represents a marriage.
A shaded circle or square indicates that a person expresses the trait.
A square representsa male.
A vertical line and a bracket connect the parents to their children.
A circle or square that is not shaded indicates that a person does not express the trait.

The Rh blood group
The positive (Rh+) allele is dominant, Rh+/Rh+ or
Rh+/Rh are Rh-positive.
