Male chromosome set
Male human chromosome set. Computer artwork of the complete set (karyotype) of healthy male human chromosomes. Humans have 46 chromosomes in most cells, consisting of 23 pairs made up of one from each parent. Chromosomes contain deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which encodes genetic information (in sections called genes) that is passed from parents to their offspring. DNA is stored in the nuclei of cells. The final XY chromosome pair (lower centre, X is the larger chromosome), shows that the person is male. Females have an XX chromosome pair

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the male chromosome set, beautifully depicted through computer artwork. The karyotype of a healthy male human is illustrated here, revealing the intricate composition of 46 chromosomes found in most cells. These chromosomes are organized into 23 pairs, with each pair consisting of one chromosome inherited from each parent. At the core of these chromosomes lies deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which carries genetic information encoded within genes. This invaluable genetic blueprint is passed down from parents to their offspring and resides within the nuclei of our cells. The image highlights the final XY chromosome pair located at the lower center, symbolizing that this individual is biologically male. In contrast, females possess an XX chromosome pair as a distinguishing feature. Through this visually striking representation, we gain insight into the fundamental aspects of human biology and genetics. It serves as a reminder that our hereditary traits and characteristics are intricately linked to these chromosomal structures. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this essential aspect of life's building blocks in an artistic yet informative manner. Their expertise in scientific imagery allows us to delve deeper into our understanding of genetics and appreciate its profound impact on who we are as individuals.
