The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks to identify the mismatch among the given options related to genetic disorders and their chromosomal complements. 2. **Analyze Klinefelter's Syndrome**: Klinefelter's syndrome is characterized by the presence of an extra X chromosome in males. The typical chromosomal complement is XXY. This occurs due to nondisjunction during meiosis, leading to a male with an additional X chromosome. 3. **Check the Given Option**: The option states Klinefelter's syndrome as X0. This is incorrect because X0 (or Turner syndrome) indicates the absence of one X chromosome, which is not the case for Klinefelter's syndrome. 4. **Identify Turner Syndrome**: Turner syndrome is characterized by a chromosomal complement of X0, meaning there is only one X chromosome and no second sex chromosome. This is a condition that affects females and is characterized by underdeveloped sexual characteristics. 5. **Evaluate Other Options**: - Hemophilia is correctly described as a sex-linked recessive disorder located on the X chromosome. - Down syndrome is correctly identified as an autosomal aneuploidy, specifically 2n + 1, due to an extra copy of chromosome 21. - Turner syndrome is correctly described with a chromosomal complement of 45 chromosomes, with one missing sex chromosome (X0). 6. **Conclude the Mismatch**: Since Klinefelter's syndrome is incorrectly matched with X0, the mismatch is identified. The correct answer is that Klinefelter's syndrome should be XXY, not X0. 7. **Final Answer**: The mismatch is Klinefelter's syndrome being described as X0. ---
