Question

Henrietta Lacks was female, so, naturally, all the cells from her derived cancerous cell line have _______ chromosomes. 

This image is a karyotype, a visual representation of the chromosomes in a human cell. Chromosomes are shown in pairs, numbered from 1 to 22, and ordered by size. The final pair is labeled as X/Y, indicating the sex chromosomes, where the presence of both an X and a Y chromosome typically indicates a male karyotype. Each chromosome has a unique banding pattern that helps in identifying them. This pattern is produced by staining techniques used during chromosome preparation. Karyotypes are used in genetics to study chromosomal abnormalities and other genetic characteristics.
