The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which disease results in a patient having a different number of chromosomes compared to the normal count, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Chromosome Count**: - A normal human cell typically has 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs. 2. **Analyzing Down Syndrome**: - Down syndrome is caused by the trisomy of chromosome 21. - This means there is an extra chromosome (one additional chromosome) at the 21st position. - Total chromosome count = 46 (normal) + 1 (extra) = 47 chromosomes. 3. **Analyzing Edwards Syndrome**: - Edwards syndrome is caused by the trisomy of chromosome 18. - Similar to Down syndrome, this results in an extra chromosome at the 18th position. - Total chromosome count = 46 (normal) + 1 (extra) = 47 chromosomes. 4. **Analyzing Turner Syndrome**: - Turner syndrome occurs when there is a missing X chromosome in females. - Normally, females have two X chromosomes (XX), but in Turner syndrome, one X is absent. - Total chromosome count = 44 (autosomes) + 1 (X) = 45 chromosomes. 5. **Analyzing Klinefelter Syndrome**: - Klinefelter syndrome occurs in males who have an extra X chromosome. - Normally, males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), but in Klinefelter syndrome, there is an additional X chromosome. - Total chromosome count = 44 (autosomes) + 2 (XXY) = 47 chromosomes. 6. **Conclusion**: - Among the options: - Down syndrome: 47 chromosomes - Edwards syndrome: 47 chromosomes - Turner syndrome: 45 chromosomes - Klinefelter syndrome: 47 chromosomes - The only condition where the patient does not have the same number of chromosomes as the normal count is Turner syndrome, which has 45 chromosomes. ### Final Answer: **Turner syndrome (Option C) is the disease where the patient does not have the same number of chromosomes as the rest.**
