Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Klinefelter's syndrome is characterized by the presence of an extra X chromosome in males, leading to symptoms such as increased height, reduced muscle mass, reduced facial and body hair, and often, lower levels of testosterone. Individuals with Klinefelter's syndrome may also exhibit learning disabilities and difficulties with speech and language development, contributing to the perception of being passive and having below-normal intelligence.
