Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Klinefelter and Turner syndromes are caused by variations in the number of sex chromosomes, specifically aneuploidy of the X or Y chromosome. Autosomal aneuploidy involves variations in the number of chromosomes that are not sex chromosomes, while reciprocal translocations and paracentric inversions involve structural changes in chromosomes rather than variations in chromosome number.
