The correct Answer is:
To determine the genetic constitution of a super female, we need to analyze the given options and understand the concept of chromosomal makeup in humans. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Chromosomal Makeup**: - Humans typically have 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs. The normal female has two X chromosomes (XX) and a total of 44 autosomes (non-sex chromosomes), resulting in a genetic constitution of 46, or 44 + XX. 2. **Identifying Super Female**: - A "super female" is a term used to describe a female with an additional X chromosome. This condition is also known as Triple X syndrome or trisomy X. 3. **Genetic Constitution of Super Female**: - The genetic constitution of a super female is therefore 44 autosomes plus 3 X chromosomes, which can be represented as 44 + XXX. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - Option 1: 44 + XXX (This is correct as it represents the super female). - Option 2: 44 + XXX (This is also correct and represents the same). - Option 3: 44 + XY (This is incorrect as it indicates a male). - Option 4: 44 + XYY (This is incorrect as it indicates a male with an extra Y chromosome). 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer for the genetic constitution of a super female is 44 + XXX. ### Final Answer: The genetic constitution of a super female is **44 + XXX**.
