The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding nullisomy in humans, let's break down the steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Chromosomal Composition**: - In humans, the typical chromosomal composition is 46 chromosomes, which includes 44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes (XX for females and XY for males). - Therefore, the male is represented as 44A + XY and the female as 44A + XX. 2. **Defining Nullisomy**: - Nullisomy refers to the condition where a pair of chromosomes is completely missing. In terms of chromosome number, this means that there are 2 chromosomes less than the diploid number (2n). - For humans, the diploid number (2n) is 46, so nullisomy would result in 44 chromosomes (2n - 2). 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - We need to examine the provided options to identify which one represents a case of nullisomy (44 chromosomes with one pair missing). - The options typically would be in the format of chromosome counts and sex chromosome combinations. 4. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Option 1**: 44A + XX (This indicates a female with 44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes. This is a case of nullisomy since it has 44 chromosomes, meaning one pair is missing). - **Option 2**: 44A + X (This indicates a female with one X chromosome missing. This is not nullisomy since it does not represent a complete pair missing). - **Option 3**: 44A + Y (This indicates a male with one X chromosome missing. This is also not nullisomy). - **Option 4**: 46A + XX (This indicates a normal female with no missing chromosomes, hence not a case of nullisomy). 5. **Conclusion**: - The only option that represents a true case of nullisomy is **Option 1: 44A + XX**. ### Final Answer: The sure case of nullisomy is **Option 1: 44A + XX**.
