Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is because the Y chromosome is only present in males and is necessary for male sex determination and development. Any chromosomal abnormality affecting the Y chromosome would likely cause major developmental issues and be incompatible with life.

Answer: C 
 Autosomal chromosomes refer to any of the 22 pairs of chromosomes that are not the sex chromosomes (X and Y). There are many chromosomal disorders that affect autosomal chromosomes, such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21), Turner syndrome (monosomy X), and Klinefelter syndrome (trisomy XXY), among others.

Thus, choices A and D are incorrect because they do not provide a comprehensive answer.
