In diploid organisms, there's a two N number of chromosomes in every single somatic cell. So, for example, in humans, every single somatic cell has 46 individual chromosomes, or 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes under normal conditions. Now, a carreotype is basically a pictorial description of all the chromosomes found within that particular organism within that particular individual. Now, in humans, every normal human carotype will show 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes or 46 individual chromosomes. Now, what exactly does a carreotype in a human actually look like? Let's take a look at the following picture that describes the human chariottype under normal conditions.
