Karyotypes can be studied to determine an organism’s chromosomal makeup and to detect genetic defects. Turner syndrome occurs when a female has an incomplete set of sex chromosomes. Symptoms of Turner syndrome include swollen hands and feet, short stature, and infertility. Which type of chromosomal mutation is responsible for causing Turner syndrome?

 C. aneuploidy

monosomy

Turner syndrome is caused by partial or complete loss (monosomy) of the second sex chromosome. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of all body cells. They carry the genetic characteristics of each individual and they come in pairs.

Which type of chromosomal mutation is responsible for causing Turner syndrome?

Turner syndrome is caused by a female having one normal X chromosome in each of her cells, while the other sex chromosome is either missing or structurally abnormal.
