Answer:Karyotypes can be studied to determine an organism’s chromosomal makeup and to detect genetic defects. Turner syndrome occurs when a female has an incomplete set of sex chromosomes. Symptoms of Turner syndrome include swollen hands and feet, short stature, and infertility. Which type of chromosomal mutation is responsible for causing Turner syndrome?
C. aneuploidy
monosomy
Turner syndrome is caused by partial or complete loss (monosomy) of the second sex chromosome. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of all body cells. They carry the genetic characteristics of each individual and they come in pairs.
Which type of chromosomal mutation is responsible for causing Turner syndrome?
Turner syndrome is caused by a female having one normal X chromosome in each of her cells, while the other sex chromosome is either missing or structurally abnormal.
Answer: Aneuploidy
Explanation:
Aneuploidy can be defined as a chromosomal condition in which there is an extra chromosome or a single chromosome is absent.
Monosomy occurs in case of Turner syndrome in which one of the two X chromosome of female is absent.
In case of the Turner syndrome, a female is considered as a true female as lacks many of the characteristics of the female body.
They are usually short in height, lack fertility, delayed puberty, heart defect, et cetera.
