1. Down's syndrome
2. Turner's syndrome
3. Klinefelter's syndrome

In which genetic condition, each cell in the affected person, has three sex chromosomes XXY?
1. Thalassemia
2. Klinefelter's Syndrome
3. Phenylketonuria
4. Turner's Syndrome
A human female with Turner's syndrome:
1. has 45 chromosomes with XO
2. has one additional chromosome.
3. exhibit male character
4. is able to produce children with a normal husband.
1. | Klinefelter's syndrome-44 autosomes + XXY |
2. | Colourblindness – Y-linked |
3. | Erythroblastosis foetalis-- X-linked |
4. | Down syndrome--44 autosomes + XO |
In Drosophila the XXY condition leads to femaleness whereas in human beings the same condition leads to Klinefelter's syndrome in males. It proves:
1. | In human beings, the Y chromosome is active in sex determination. |
2. | Y chromosome is active in sex determination in both human beings and Drosophila. |
3. | In Drosophila Y-chromosome decides femaleness. |
4. | The Y chromosome of man has genes for the syndrome. |
