A karyotype is the number and appearance of chromosomes in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell. The term is also used for the complete set of chromosomes in a species, or an individual organism

@Faith157 @Somy @arilove1d A more accurate definition would be the absolute number of chromosomes (eg, humans have 46), the number of pairs (eg, humans have 23 pairs), and the appearance.
