The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements are correct about a person suffering from Klinefelter's syndrome, we need to analyze each option based on the characteristics of the syndrome. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Klinefelter's Syndrome**: - Klinefelter's syndrome is a genetic condition that occurs in males who have an extra X chromosome. The typical genotype is 44 autosomes plus XXY, leading to a total of 47 chromosomes. 2. **Analyzing Option A**: "It is a case of trisomy." - This statement is correct. Klinefelter's syndrome involves the presence of an extra X chromosome, which classifies it as a form of trisomy (specifically, X chromosome trisomy). 3. **Analyzing Option B**: "The sufferer has 47 chromosomes." - This statement is also correct. Individuals with Klinefelter's syndrome have a total of 47 chromosomes due to the additional X chromosome. 4. **Analyzing Option C**: "He/She is fertile." - This statement is incorrect. Individuals with Klinefelter's syndrome are typically sterile, meaning they cannot produce children. 5. **Analyzing Option D**: "Tall stature with breast development." - This statement is correct. Individuals with Klinefelter's syndrome often exhibit tall stature and may have breast development (gynecomastia) due to hormonal imbalances. ### Conclusion: Based on the analysis: - **Correct Statements**: A, B, and D. - **Incorrect Statement**: C. ### Final Answer: The correct options about a person suffering from Klinefelter's syndrome are A, B, and D. ---
