Doctors can use karyotypes to determine the sex of an individual. They can also use karyotypes to determine whether an individual has an abnormal number of chromosomes or noticeable chromosomal mutations, such as large deletions, additions, or translocations.
Karyotypes are made during metaphase of mitosis when the condensed chromosomes are lined up on the metaphase plate. At this stage, the chromosomes are most condensed and easily identifiable for analysis.
Abnormal karyotypes can result from processes such as chromosomal mutations, errors during meiosis or mitosis, exposure to mutagens, or genetic disorders. These processes can lead to changes in chromosome number (aneuploidy) or structure (translocations, deletions, duplications), resulting in abnormal karyotypes.
A karyotype is the characteristic chromosome complement of a eukaryote species. In essence karyotypes describe your chromosomes. for more information go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karyotype
Karyotypes show a visual representation of an individual's chromosomes arranged by size, shape, and banding pattern. They can be used to detect genetic abnormalities, such as extra, missing, or rearranged chromosomes. Karyotypes are helpful in diagnosing genetic disorders and assessing chromosomal abnormalities.

karyotypes are taken during metaphase
No, a person's karyotype does not change over time. It remains constant throughout their life. Karyotypes are unique genetic profiles that are determined by an individual's chromosomal makeup and are established at conception.
Karyotypes can detect non disjunction by showing abnormal chromosome numbers. Non disjunction occurs when chromosomes fail to separate properly during cell division, leading to an imbalance of chromosomes in the resulting cells. Karyotypes can be analyzed to identify any extra or missing chromosomes, indicating the occurrence of non disjunction.
Karyotypes, along with morphogens, determine the Physical Shape of Organisms.
