The correct Answer is:

A human female with Turner syndrome has the absence of one of the X-chromosome, i.e. 45 with XO (or 44 + XO). Turner syndrome is a chromosomal condition that affects the development in females. The most common feature of Turner syndrome is short stature, which become evident by the age of 5. An easily loss of ovarian function is also very common.
The ovaries develope normally at first, but egg cells usually die prematurely and most overian tissue degenerates before birth.
