Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) has \(45\) chromosomes with \(XO\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(a): A human female with Turner’s syndrome has single sex chromosome \(i.e., 44 + X0 (45)\). Such females are called sterile females with rudimentary ovaries. Other associated phenotypes of this condition are short stature, webbed­neck, broad chest, lack of secondarysexual characteristics and sterility. Thus, any imbalance in the copies of the sex chromosomes may disrupt the genetic information necessary for normal sexual development.
