Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trisomy is a genetic condition where an individual has three copies of a particular chromosome instead of the normal two copies. Down syndrome involves trisomy of chromosome 21, while Klinefelter syndrome involves trisomy of sex chromosomes (typically XXY). Turner syndrome, on the other hand, involves a missing or incomplete X chromosome, and is not caused by trisomy. Therefore, the conditions resulting from trisomy are Down syndrome and Klinefelter syndrome, which are represented by choices A and C respectively, leading to the answer D.
