The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Sex Chromosomes**: - Humans typically have two sex chromosomes: XX for females and XY for males. The absence of one sex chromosome can lead to specific genetic disorders. 2. **Identifying the Condition**: - The question asks about the absence of one sex chromosome. This condition is specifically known as Turner syndrome. 3. **Genotype of Turner Syndrome**: - The genotype associated with Turner syndrome is 45, X0 (or 44 + X0), indicating that there is only one X chromosome present in an otherwise typical set of chromosomes. 4. **Other Options**: - Klein Filter syndrome (Klinefelter syndrome) involves the presence of an extra X chromosome (XXY). - Down syndrome is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21 (trisomy 21) and is not related to sex chromosomes. - Hemophilia is a genetic disorder related to blood clotting, typically linked to mutations on the X chromosome but does not involve the absence of a sex chromosome. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the absence of one sex chromosome specifically causes Turner syndrome. ### Final Answer: The absence of one sex chromosome causes Turner syndrome.
