Compared to girls with XY sex chromosomes, girls with Turner syndrome

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Turner syndrome is characterized by the presence of a single X chromosome and the absence of the second sex chromosome, either an X or Y, resulting in a 45,X karyotype instead of the typical 46,XX or 46,XY. This leads to various developmental and medical challenges, including shorter stature, not taller, which contradicts option C, and it does not involve having an extra X or Y chromosome, which eliminates options A and B.
