Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of XXY sex chromosomes indicates Klinefelter syndrome, a genetic disorder in males, characterized by the presence of an extra X chromosome. This results in various physical and mental abnormalities, including smaller testes, reduced fertility, and learning difficulties. Turner syndrome (A) occurs when one of the two X chromosomes is completely or partially missing in females, while progestin-induced virilization (B) is a rare condition caused by exposure to high levels of progestin hormones during fetal development. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (C) is a group of inherited disorders that affect the adrenal glands, while androgen insensitivity syndrome (D) is a rare condition in which individuals with male sex chromosomes are partially or completely insensitive to male hormones, resulting in abnormal development of the reproductive organs.
