Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Turner syndrome is caused by the absence or partial absence of one X chromosome in females. This results in infertility, developmental delays, and physical traits such as a lack of breast tissue and rounded hips. PKU and Down syndrome are not related to X chromosome abnormalities, and Klinefelter's syndrome is caused by the presence of an extra X chromosome in males.
