Detailed explanation-1: -A karyotype can only detect the chromosome number and any abnormalities when it comes to the chromosome count and structure. Trisomy 21 and Turner’s syndrome can be detected using a karyotype.

Detailed explanation-2: -A karyotype test checks the chromosomes in your cells to: See whether you have a full set of 46 chromosomes. Having too many or too few chromosomes can cause serious problems with health, growth, and normal development, such as Down syndrome (extra chromosome 21) and Turner syndrome (missing X chromosome).

Detailed explanation-3: -Karyotypes can reveal changes in chromosome number associated with aneuploid conditions, such as trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). Careful analysis of karyotypes can also reveal more subtle structural changes, such as chromosomal deletions, duplications, translocations, or inversions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Down syndrome is a condition in which a person has an extra chromosome. Chromosomes are small “packages” of genes in the body.

Detailed explanation-5: -Human karyotype shows two types of chromosomes: or sex chromosomes and or non-sex chromosomes.
