karyotype
1. The chromosome complement of a cell, individual, or group.
2. The structural characteristics of the chromosome set.
3. Those individuals having an identical complement of chromosomes.
4. A photomicrograph of the chromosomes of a single cell, taken during metaphase, when each chromosome is still a pair of chromatids.

3. Those individuals having an identical complement of chromosomes.
4. A photomicrograph of the chromosomes of a single cell, taken during metaphase, when each chromosome is still a pair of chromatids.
The chromosomes are then arranged in numerical order, in descending order of size.
karyotyping
The examination of the chromosomes to determine the karyotype or particular chromosome complement of an individual as defined by the number, size, and centromere (constricted region of a chromosome where it performs certain functions during cell division) position of the chromosomes, usually in mitotic metaphase or the second stage of cell division, during which chromosomes line up in preparation for separation.
