Question 12 • Anatomy & Physiology A

Which would most likely be used to diagnose Turner syndrome?

Answer
A
an enzyme test
B
a karyotype
C
a blood-clotting test
D
a blood transfusion

Explanation

Turner syndrome is caused by a chromosomal difference, usually involving one missing or altered X chromosome. A karyotype displays a person’s chromosomes and can reveal this difference, so the correct choice is a karyotype. Enzyme and blood-clotting tests do not directly identify chromosome patterns, and a transfusion is a treatment rather than a diagnostic test.
