the first sentence should be:
The total count of chromosomes for this individual IS 47. (That is because the subject is count, not chromosomes, so it takes a singular verb.)
The second sentence is correct.
The third sentence should be:
This case is different, however, because the individual has Klienfelter's Syndrome.
