All of the above can be determined from a karyotype. The gender of the individual can be determined by examining the sex chromosomes (XX for female and XY for male). The presence or absence of specific chromosomes can indicate whether the sample is nonhuman. Additionally, the presence of homologous pairs of chromosomes can indicate whether the sample is from a somatic cell or a gamete.
