The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks which genetic condition is characterized by a webbed neck. 2. **Review the Options**: The options provided are Turner syndrome, Down syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, and superfemales. 3. **Analyze Turner Syndrome**: Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder that occurs in females due to the absence of one X chromosome (monosomy). It is characterized by various physical features. 4. **Identify Key Features of Turner Syndrome**: Some of the key features of Turner syndrome include: - Short stature - Poor breast development - Rudimentary ovaries - Absence of menstrual cycles - Webbed neck (this is the feature we are focusing on) 5. **Examine Other Options**: - **Down Syndrome**: This is characterized by an extra chromosome 21 and does not typically present with a webbed neck. - **Klinefelter Syndrome**: This occurs in males with an extra X chromosome and does not feature a webbed neck. - **Superfemales**: This refers to females with an extra X chromosome (XXX) and does not typically present with a webbed neck. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the characteristic of a webbed neck is specifically associated with Turner syndrome. 7. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the correct answer is Turner syndrome. ---
