The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Definition of Turner's Syndrome**: Turner's syndrome is a chromosomal disorder that affects females. It occurs when a female is born with only one X chromosome instead of the typical two X chromosomes. 2. **Chromosomal Composition**: In normal females, the chromosomal composition is XX. However, in Turner's syndrome, the chromosomal composition is represented as XO, indicating the absence of one X chromosome. 3. **Symptoms of Turner's Syndrome**: Individuals with Turner's syndrome may exhibit various physical characteristics and symptoms, including: - Short stature - Webbed neck - Broad chest - Low-set ears - Infertility due to ovarian dysfunction 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the above information, Turner's syndrome is correctly represented as XO. The option "OY" is incorrect because it does not accurately reflect the chromosomal makeup of individuals with Turner's syndrome. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is "XO". **Final Answer**: Turner's syndrome is represented by XO. ---
