The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding X-Monosomy**: - X-monosomy refers to the condition where an individual has only one X chromosome instead of the normal two sex chromosomes (XX in females). This condition is also known as Turner’s syndrome. 2. **Example of X-Monosomy**: - The most common example of X-monosomy is Turner’s syndrome. In this condition, a female is born with only one X chromosome, which is represented as XO in the karyotype notation. 3. **Characteristics of Turner’s Syndrome**: - Individuals with Turner’s syndrome exhibit a variety of physical and developmental symptoms due to the absence of one X chromosome. Some of these characteristics include: - Short stature (low height) - Small mandible (jaw) - High arched palate (the roof of the mouth) - Low set ears - Webbed neck (extra skin folds on the neck) - Low hairline - Minimal breast development - Ovarian dysfunction, which can lead to amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) and infertility. 4. **Conclusion**: - Turner’s syndrome is a clear example of X-monosomy, characterized by the presence of a single X chromosome and a range of associated physical and reproductive symptoms.
