Represented by the number and shape of chromosomes Chromosome It is called karyotype. Although the karyotype is generally based on somatic cell The number and shape of chromosomes in metaphase of mitosis can be expressed, however, it can also be expressed in other stages, especially in prophase or Interphase Chromosome morphology. In addition, in order to express the morphological characteristics of each chromosome, names such as "V" shape and "J" shape can also be used, or the method of classification according to the position of centromere proposed by A. Levan et al. (1964) can be used. Relating to the human karyotype Representation , which is unified internationally (in Denver 1960 London 1963、 Chicago Held in 1966, Paris 1971 and other places Human chromosome It has been stipulated that Chromosome arm ratio , centromeric index, etc.

The information about the whole chromosome can be expressed by the following records: the length and thickness of each chromosome; Centromere Location of; Follower and Secondary constriction The presence, number and location of; Different parts of condensation section and Heterochromatin Part Euchromatin part; Chromomere telomere The shape, size and distribution of; Number and position of small constrictions; Due to temperature and drug treatment chromosomal banding (band) form, number, position, etc. about Chromosome Several methods have been proposed. For example, the number of chromosomes is represented by n and 2n respectively gamete and Zygote The number of chromosomes of is represented by x, b, 2x, 3x, 4x Polyploidy , 2x+1, 2x-1,..., etc. denote non integer inertia, and numbers 1, 2, 3,..., etc. denote each chromosome.
