See the reply in the Biology Online forum that mentions the Chromotype listbox used in the fusion illustration software:

The word "Karyotype" becomes ambiguous in a theory where the important thing is what happens to the chromosomes. Terminology I used is more precise, less confusing, even though you are not used to using it. |
There's nothing ambiguous about the word karyotype.
At least, biologists don't have any such problem with it.
It is interesting that Gary thinks that karyotypes have to do with something other than chromosomes.
I do agree with something Gary asserted: I am definitely not used to using gibberish.
