The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which chromosomal disorder is characterized by features such as a long furrowed tongue and short stature, we will analyze each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Symptoms**: The symptoms given in the question are a long furrowed tongue and short stature. We need to find which chromosomal disorder is associated with these features. 2. **Examine Down Syndrome**: - Down syndrome is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21 (trisomy 21). - Common features include short stature, a small round head, a partially open mouth, and a long, furrowed tongue. - Therefore, Down syndrome matches the symptoms provided. 3. **Examine Klinefelter Syndrome**: - Klinefelter syndrome is caused by an extra X chromosome (XXY), leading to a total of 47 chromosomes. - Affected individuals are typically sterile and may have some physical traits, but they do not typically present with a long furrowed tongue or short stature as defining features. 4. **Examine Turner Syndrome**: - Turner syndrome occurs due to the absence of one X chromosome (XO), resulting in 45 chromosomes. - Affected females are usually short and may have some physical abnormalities, but they do not typically have a furrowed tongue. 5. **Examine Payer's Syndrome**: - Payer's syndrome is not a commonly recognized chromosomal disorder and does not have the characteristic symptoms mentioned in the question. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, Down syndrome is the only chromosomal disorder among the options that presents with both a long furrowed tongue and short stature. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Down syndrome**.
