A person with the sex chromosomes XXY suffers from
-
- Down's syndrome
- Klinefelter's syndrome
- Turner's syndrome
- Gynandromorphism
Correct Option: B
Down’s syndrome develops due to trisomy of chromosome number 21. In Turner’s syndrome, the effect appears due to fusion of a gamete without sex chromosome and a gamete with one X-chromosome (44 + X). Klinefelter individuals are phenotypically males. The defect appears due to fusion of egg having unreduced sex complement (A + X X) with a gamete carrying Y chromosome (44 + XXY). Gynandromorphism occur among Drosophila. In such individuals one half of the body shows male characters and the other half shows female characters.
