From this information, one can conclude that the cell used for the karyotype test comes from a male organism.

Karyotype is the test that is used to determine the number and the visual appearance of chromosomes in the cell nucleus of an organism. This test is done by isolating, staining and examining the chromosomes under the microscope.
