Question 9 • Anatomy & Physiology A

Which of the following is true about Turner syndrome?

Answer
A
It occurs when a male has three copies of the X chromosome.
B
It occurs when a female has one copy of the X chromosome.
C
It occurs when a female has two copies of the X chromosome.
D
It occurs when a male has two copies of the Y chromosome.

Explanation

Turner syndrome usually occurs when a female has only one X chromosome instead of two, often written as 45,X. Therefore, choice B, “a female has one copy of the X chromosome,” is correct. Having three X chromosomes in a male describes a different chromosomal condition.
