Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Babies with XXY chromosomal makeup have Klinefelter syndrome, which can result in altered development of secondary sex characteristics. They may have decreased muscle mass, small testicles, and enlarged breasts. Option B is incorrect because an enlarged penis and scrotum are not typically associated with XXY chromosomal makeup. Option C is also incorrect because the risk of testicular cancer is not significantly increased in individuals with Klinefelter syndrome. Option D is partially correct as some individuals with Klinefelter syndrome may be sterile, but not all.
