The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Turner Syndrome**: Turner syndrome is a genetic condition that affects females, characterized by the presence of a single X chromosome instead of the usual two (XX). The typical chromosomal makeup in Turner syndrome is 44 chromosomes plus one X chromosome, denoted as 44, X0. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: "It is a case of monosomy." - Turner syndrome is indeed a case of monosomy because there is a missing X chromosome (X0). - **Option 2**: "It causes sterility in females." - Females with Turner syndrome are typically sterile due to the underdevelopment of the ovaries. - **Option 3**: "Absence of the body." - This refers to the absence of a second X chromosome, which is crucial for normal female development. In Turner syndrome, the lack of this chromosome can lead to various developmental issues. - **Option 4**: "All of the above." - Since all the previous statements are correct, this option must also be correct. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis of the options, the correct answer is **Option 4: All of the above**. All statements about Turner syndrome are accurate.
