The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding genetic disorders where patients have one chromosome less than normal humans, we will analyze each option provided in the question step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Normal Chromosome Count Normal humans have a total of 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs. Any condition that results in having one chromosome less than this total would mean the individual has 45 chromosomes. ### Step 2: Analyzing Each Disorder 1. **Down's Syndrome**: - This condition is caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21, leading to a total of 47 chromosomes (Trisomy 21). - **Conclusion**: This disorder does not meet the criteria of having one chromosome less. **(Not the answer)** 2. **Alpha Thalassemia**: - This is a blood disorder characterized by reduced levels of hemoglobin. It is not primarily a chromosomal disorder but rather a genetic mutation affecting hemoglobin production. - **Conclusion**: This disorder does not involve a change in chromosome number. **(Not the answer)** 3. **Turner's Syndrome**: - This disorder occurs due to the absence of one of the X chromosomes in females, resulting in a total of 45 chromosomes (45, X). - **Conclusion**: This disorder fits the criteria of having one chromosome less than normal. **(This is the correct answer)** 4. **Klinefelter Syndrome**: - This condition is characterized by the presence of an extra X chromosome in males, leading to a total of 47 chromosomes (47, XXY). - **Conclusion**: This disorder also does not meet the criteria of having one chromosome less. **(Not the answer)** ### Final Answer The genetic disorder in which the patients have one chromosome less than normal humans is **Turner's syndrome**. ---
