The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Chromosome Count**: In humans, the normal chromosome count is 46 (23 pairs). The notation 44 + XO indicates that there are 44 autosomes and one X chromosome, meaning there is a missing sex chromosome (Y chromosome). 2. **Identifying the Condition**: The condition characterized by 45 chromosomes (44 + XO) is associated with Turner syndrome. In Turner syndrome, a female is born with a single X chromosome instead of the usual two sex chromosomes (XX). 3. **Differentiating Other Syndromes**: - **Down Syndrome**: This is caused by trisomy of chromosome 21, resulting in 47 chromosomes (46 + 1). - **Klinefelter Syndrome**: This condition is characterized by the presence of an extra X chromosome in males (XXY), resulting in 47 chromosomes. - **Edwards Syndrome**: This is caused by trisomy of chromosome 18, leading to 47 chromosomes. 4. **Conclusion**: Since the question specifies 45 chromosomes (44 + XO), the correct answer is Turner syndrome, which is characterized by the presence of a single X chromosome in females. **Final Answer**: Turner syndrome is caused by 45 chromosomes (44 + XO). ---
