Individuals with Turner syndrome (monosomy X)have only one sex chromosome-a single X chromosome.Such individuals are produced when nondisjunction results in a gamete with no sex chromosome,which subsequently fuses with a normal gamete.What would be the sex chromosome complement of an individual produced by fusion of a normal gamete with the gamete that ended up with the extra chromosome missing from the Turner syndrome patient?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Turner syndrome results from a gamete with no sex chromosome fusing with a normal gamete, resulting in a single X chromosome (XO). The gamete with the extra chromosome would have two sex chromosomes (either XX or XY), which, when fused with a normal gamete (X or Y), could produce either XXX or XXY individuals.
